Everton will be chasing Gnonto after signing Lindstrom

Everton are closing in on another attacking signing this week as Fabrizio Romano revealed a loan deal is in place with Napoli to sign Jesper Lindstrom.

A loan deal with an option to buy set at €23m (£19.3m) is in place as the Dane flies to Merseyside to complete a medical and formalities.

Gnonto could be hotly pursued by Everton soon

After selling Amadou Onana for £50m, it seems the Toffees are getting their ducks in a row with spending money.

Lindstrom comes in as another attacking option, while Gnonto is another option who could join if he heats up his pursuit.

They would appear to have prioritized landing the Danish striker first, with Leeds proving to be more difficult negotiators on Gnonto.
