Everton have signed Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstrom on a season-long loan.

The 24-year-old’s deal includes an option for the Toffees to permanently buy the Denmark international.

Lindstrom, who has been capped 16 times by his country, played 29 games for Napoli last season after signing from German side Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

“It’s amazing to represent Everton,” he told evertontv. “This is a big club, with a 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’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 team-mates. I’m ready to show them I can help.”
