Everton Sign Jesper Lindstrøm

Everton have completed the loan transfer of Jesper Lindstrøm from Napoli.

The 24-year-old midfielder will spend the 2024/25 season with the Blues for a reported €2m loan fee + bonuses, and the agreement includes an option to make the move permanent next summer for €22.5m.

Lindstrøm said: “I feel very good. It’s amazing to represent Everton. This is a big club, with big history, a good stadium and, as I’ve seen, very good facilities as well. I’m very, very happy to be here and I feel like this is a good fit.

“I actually heard of Everton’s interest a while ago – not only from now but previously. England is very similar to Denmark so I will feel at home quickly. The people have been very nice and very humble. I’m really looking forward to getting started.

“I’ve spoken to the manager. It sounds as though he likes the way I play football and I can be a good fit for the team with my speed, so now I want to deliver. I know he trusts me and that’s another reason I’m here – because I need that trust from the coach and I need trust from my teammates. I’m ready to show them I can help.

“I am 100 per cent ready. I’m so hungry. This pre-season feels long because I just want to play football, I just want to be out there in the stadium. Last year was a tough year for me but I’m so happy to be here now and I can’t wait to get started.

“I’m a fast player with a good technique and a good shot, so I think I can add speed on the counter-attacks and I can play in several positions – as a number 10, as a winger. I will give my best. I like to score goals, provide assists and create chances. I hope I can do that here – I know I can do that here. I know how the team plays and I have some very good teammates. I am ready to give everything.”
