The 24-year-old made 29 senior appearances for the Naples-based outfit last season in multiple competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Denmark international saw most of his game time come as a substitute which explains why he averaged 0.6 shots, 0.6 key passes and 0.5 dribbles per game in Serie A. However, he has been careful when distributing the ball in the opposition half based on his pass success rate of 84.4% in the Italian top tier (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Players\/403646\/Show\/Jesper-Lindstr%C3%B8m\">whoscored<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>His current deal at Napoli will expire in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for the Toffees to snap him up on a cut-price deal later this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_310294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-310294\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1706&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Everton\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?w=2560&#038;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&#038;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&#038;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=750%2C500&#038;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fc-barcelona-v-ssc-napoli-round-of-16-second-leg-uefa-champions-league-2023-24-2-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1140%2C760&#038;ssl=1 1140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-310294\">BARCELONA, SPAIN \u2013 MARCH 12: Jesper Lindstrom of SSC Napoli run with the ball during the UEFA Champions League 2023\/24 round of 16 second leg match between FC Barcelona and SSC Napoli at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on March 12, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.

He has also got the eye to set up some promising chances for his teammates up top.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Denmark international has to find a way to improve his passing accuracy in the final third. Still, he mainly operates as an attacking midfielder or can also play as a winger on either flank if told to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Lindstrom would no doubt enhance the quality of <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2022\/06\/donny-van-de-beek-girlfriend\/\">Everton<\/a> head coach Sean Dyche\u2019s match-day squad in the summer.

Still, he would serve as a good option for <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2022\/11\/idrissa-gueyes-wife\/\">the Merseyside club<\/a> to pursue in the long run as long as they can get him on a cut-price deal before the end of this transfer period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" alt=\"Abhinab Ghosh\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/953b138f11faa6a641e1291cb8d69017.jpg?ver=1721496973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/e1dd3148acd74635c3e5762de90c9e3d.jpg?ver=1721497028 2x\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/author\/abhinab\/\">Abhinab Ghosh<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A sports writer and an aspiring football coach who has road-tripped across the Scottish Highlands, but has never been to Wales.
