This summer, Everton has been hankering after a few major transfer targets. They have had some success in the market, bringing in three new players, but much work remains.
It’s consoling to know that Kevin Thelwell will know more than most people, but understanding the problem and having the resources to solve it are two entirely different things.
Jesper Lindstrom comes to an Everton understanding.
It is therefore no coincidence that, only a few days after it was announced that Amadou Onana would be joining Aston Villa, the Toffees have now agreed to sign one player.
The international player from Belgium was always going to leave Goodison Park this summer, and the £50 million he will fetch should cover the costs of the other players they sign this window.
One Italian outlet claims that Thelwell has been motivated to complete the negotiations to acquire Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli because he knows they will be given such a secure financial foundation.
