Everton are making moves in the market with the Toffees closing in on their third addition of the summer.
Sean Dyche has been able to welcome two new faces to the squad for their trip to Ireland with Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam joining the club.
However, Everton are now set to discuss personal terms with Jesper Lindstrom who looks set to potentially become their third signing.
Attacking options are perhaps the biggest need this summer with the Toffees holding one of the best defensive records in the league last season.
Although talks over a move for Lindstrom seem to be progressing well, Everton also have other options with one, in particular, keen on the prospect of the move.

Exciting forward would be keen on Everton move
Despite their strong end to the season, last term was a disappointing one for Everton but maintaining their Premier League status was all that mattered.
Exciting times are on the horizon for the Toffees with the new stadium taking shape ahead of next year.
And there is also the prospect of a potential takeover with talks ongoing behind the scenes after Farhad Moshiri received a fresh bid for Everton from a new party.
But fans will be mainly interested in seeing new players brought through the doors, currently. And there is one player who is keen to make the move.
According to GiveMeSport, Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto would approve a potential move to Everton this summer.
“Everton still have Willy Gnonto on their radar after trying to sign him last summer, but he is just one of several options,” said reporter Ben Jacobs.
“Gnonto would welcome an approach. But the fact Everton tried first for Villa-bound Jaden Philogene and discussed Yankuba Minteh with Newcastle prior to his Brighton move shows there has been no urgency so far to prioritise Gnonto.
“Finding a winger and a striker are two of Everton’s goals in the second half of the window.”
Wilfried Gnonto interest may be on hold at Everton
With talks ongoing for Lindstrom, it wouldn’t be too difficult to imagine that this may have put the brakes on a move for the Italian.
However, it has to be remembered that the deal for Lindstrom has not been finalised.
Napoli and Everton have agreed terms, but the player has not yet finalised personal terms with the Merseyside club.
So there is still every chance that the proposed deal for the Danish winger could still fall through.
And if that is to happen, then Everton have a ‘special‘ player in Gnonto who would be more than keen to make the move across to Merseyside.
