Napoli attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrom is now just one step away from completing a move to the Premier League to join Everton after completing his medical on Thursday, according to recent updates.
Lindstrom completes Everton medical
The 24-year-old is set to move to Merseyside on an initial loan deal with an option to buy. The Toffees will pay a fee of €3m to have the player on loan for the season, and will pay an additional €22m if the move becomes permanent, for a total cost of €25m.
According to updates from Fabrizio Romano, all that is left now is for Lindstrom to put pen to paper on the official contracts.
The Denmark international only moved to Napoli last summer, at a cost of €30m following an impressive couple of years with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, which included a Europa League final victory in 2022.
However, during a turbulent season at the Stadio Maradona, which saw three different coaches come and go in Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri and Francesco Calzona, Lindstrom struggled to cement his place in the Partenopei line-up.
