Everton are now looking for their fourth signing of the summer transfer window after securing the signature of Jesper Lindstrom.

Sean Dyche has enjoyed a positive start to the summer window both on and off the pitch at Everton.

Of course, the recent disappointment of The Friedkin Group’s proposed takeover falling through was not what the club wanted.

However, this has not stopped the Toffees from bringing in three new faces in the summer market already.

The latest of which is forward Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli on a season-long loan with the opportunity to purchase him in the summer.

More attacking players could still be eyed by those at Goodison Park with Alan Myers sharing his latest on one of them.

The addition of Lindstrom added to that of Iliman Ndiaye to help bolster the options up top for Everton over recent weeks.

However, Everton are coming into the summer having recorded the second-worst record in front of goal in the league last season.

Improvements have to be made by Dyche’s side and it will be interesting to see whether they now feel they have enough to take them into the new campaign in an attacking sense.

According to Alan Myers, Everton have not progressed in their interest of the Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto.

It had been suggested that Everton were ready to step up their interest in Gnonto having completed the deal for the Danish forward.

However, there may well now be question marks as to whether Everton could use the money better elsewhere having seen the proposed takeover collapse.

Everton could land ‘special’ play in Wilfried Gnonto

Having spent the 2023/24 campaign in the Championship with Leeds, the ‘special‘ Italian forward provided a return of eight goals and two assists.

He was also able to provide an assist in their play-off run but it is in the Premier League where he really impressed a lot of people.

One of those was Gary Neville who previously waxed lyrical about Gnonto during Leeds’ time in the top flight.

“Sometimes you see potential and talent but watching him so closely, his understanding of where to be, his choice of pass, when to run with it, his awareness of teammates, really good honestly,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
