‘It’s amazing to represent Everton’

New Everton signing Jesper Lindstrom feels he is “100% ready” to “deliver” for the club.

The 24-year-old has joined the Toffees on a loan deal until the end of the season, with an option to buy included.

A versatile attacking midfielder, Lindstrom came through the Brondby academy before making the move to German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

He played 80 games for the Bundesliga side, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists, and helped them to win the Europa League in 2022 before moving to Napoli.

“I feel very good. It’s amazing to represent Everton,” Lindstrom told club media.

“This is a big club, with big history, a good stadium and, as I’ve seen, very good facilities as well. I’m very, very happy to be here and I feel like this is a good fit.

“I actually heard of Everton’s interest a while ago – not only from now but previously. England is very similar to Denmark so I will feel at home quickly.

“I’ve spoken to the manager. It sounds as though he likes the way I play football and I can be a good fit for the team with my speed, so now I want to deliver. I know he trusts me and that’s another reason I’m here – because I need that trust from the coach and I need trust from my teammates. I’m ready to show them I can help.

“I am 100% ready. I’m so hungry. This pre-season feels long because I just want to play football, I just want to be out there in the stadium. Last year was a tough year for me, but I’m so happy to be here now and I can’t wait to get started.”

The Denmark international struggled to really make an impact with Napoli, featuring 29 times without scoring or assisting, but he wants to put that behind him.

“I feel like I can help the team and that is what I want to do. I want to show the fans that I’m here,” Lindstrom added.

“This is a season for me to come back on track. I think this is a very good fit for me and I’m ready to show why I should stay here.”
