Alan Myers Reacts as Everton Close in on Securing Third Summer Transfer
Alan Myers: Everton Not on Verge of Signing Napoli Winger Jesper Lindstrom
Sky Sports responded to claims from Corriere dello Sport’s July 18th print edition suggesting Everton are nearing an agreement with Danish international Jesper Lindstrom.
If the 24-year-old joins, he would become Everton’s third signing this summer following Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam.
On July 18th, Myers commented, “There is interest, but it’s not as close to reality as initially suggested.”
Everton’s Pursuit of Lindstrom Requires Deliberation
While Everton’s pursuit of Lindstrom marks a significant move in the transfer market, the club must proceed cautiously to ensure he fits well within their squad dynamics, contrary to initial assumptions of an imminent deal.
Rushing into an agreement without thorough assessment could prove costly, considering Lindstrom’s recent challenges at Napoli and the financial stakes involved.
It’s crucial for Everton to evaluate Lindstrom’s adaptability to the Premier League, his alignment with the team’s style of play, and explore alternative options.
Given the dynamic nature of the transfer market, other players may emerge who better suit Everton’s needs, providing a contingency if negotiations with Lindstrom falter or if his integration into the squad proves problematic.
By adopting a prudent approach, Everton can make a well-informed decision aligned with their long-term objectives, mitigating the risk of a costly transfer error.
