Everton are set to sign Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrom on a season-long loan, with the winger ‘travelling for a medical’ ahead of the switch, per reports.
As we exclusively revealed on Monday, the Toffees could make as many as three signings this week, with Sean Dyche keen to bring in two new wingers and a defensive midfielder.

Sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that Lindstrom is a key target for Everton and according to respected journalist Gianluca di Marzio, he is set for a medical on Merseyside.
Di Marzio has posted on X that Everton will sign Lindstrom on a season-long loan with a €22m (£18.5m) option to buy included in the deal. The Toffees will also pay a €3m (£2.5m) loan fee to secure the deal.
Fabrizio Romano has since confirmed Di Marzio’s report and everything points towards the move being sealed imminently.
The 24-year-old failed to make a goal contribution for Napoli after joining the club last summer but was excellent for former side Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 14 goals and made 14 assists in 80 appearances.
Dyche will hope Lindstrom, who is a confessed Liverpool supporter, can get back to his best at Goodison Park this season.
TEAMtalk understands that Everton are also in talks to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds and Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, while Chelsea midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu is also a target.
Everton linked with former Tottenham star
Everton are also looking to bring in defensive reinforcements and have reportedly received a boost in their pursuit of Galatasaray centre-back Davinson Sanchez, who is open a Premier League return after leaving Tottenham last summer.
The Colombian international was considered one of the most promising defenders in Europe when he signed for Spurs in 2017 but struggled to find consistency at the North London club.
Sanchez featured regularly under Mauricio Pochettino but gradually fell down Tottenham’s pecking order and joined Galatasaray on a £8m deal.
