Everton are going to have a number of interesting decisions over the coming months with their current loan players.
PSR issues have left the Toffees looking to make loan signings in recent transfer windows as a cost-effective way of adding new players.
David Moyes admitted he was shocked by PSR’s hold on Everton when he joined midway through the January transfer window.
Everton were only able to bring in one player on loan over the winter market in Carlos Alcaraz.
And the Toffees are going to be left with a big decision over his future in the summer, as they hold the option to make his stay permanent.
He is not the only player who the Friedkins and the Everton chiefs will need to make a decision on.
Everton have spoken to Jesper Lindstrom ahead of the summer
Jesper Lindstrom has impressed during Everton training recently, but he was not given the nod from the start on the weekend.
After joining in the summer on loan from Napoli, Everton have the £19m option to make Lindstrom a permanent player over the coming months.
Speaking to Ekstra Bladet, the Everton winger has admitted the club have told him they are happy with his performances.
“It’s a bit up to Everton,” said Lindstrom on his future.
“Whether they choose to use the option or not. I’m really just trying to show that I’m good enough. The game is working. I’m happy. They’re happy, but it’s just about me continuing to play my way. Then we’ll see if it’s good enough.”
Fello Dane Daniel Agger has been really impressed by Lindstrom this season after making the move to the Premier League.
But it still feels like there is a lot for the 25-year-old to prove in an Everton shirt having only racked up one assist all season.
Jesper Lindstrom is loving life at Everton
Moyes has asked for more from Lindstrom over recent weeks, with the Dane still looking for his first goal in an Everton shirt.
But he has settled in well to life on Merseyside and has shared his delight in working under Moyes.
“Yes. I’m doing well. My family is doing well. It seems like the club and the new coach believe in me. And the Premier League is a great league. There’s a reason why they say it’s the greatest,” he added.
It is not just the manager who Lindstrom is enjoying being alongside at Finch Farm.
Speaking to Everton’s YouTube channel, the 25-year-old has admitted he has formed a really good bond with defender Jake O’Brien.
“I know what he wants to do. He knows what I want to do. Our friendship is good, so, I can say something to Jake and he can say something to me and we know it’s not personal,” said Lindstrom.
“It makes me calm knowing he’s there [at right-back] and I will always try to help him defensively.”
