Danish football writer Toke Theilade believes Everton target Jesper Lindstrom, who currently plays for Serie A side Napoli, will be a “very versatile” player in Sean Dyche’s squad.
It is rumoured that the Toffees are closing in on a loan deal for the 24-year-old attacking midfielder, who would be the club’s fourth summer signing.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside’s Phil Munns, Theilade praised the Denmark international: “I think Everton are getting a really exciting player. I have been following him ever since he was a youngster at Brondby and Denmark.
“He is a very versatile midfielder, but he is primarily an offensive-minded midfielder and he has a strength in that part of the game. A hard-working guy, very likeable, and the kind of player you love to see playing for your team.
“He has really good technique and a lot of pace when on the ball. He isn’t a super fast guy in the normal sense of the word but, when he has the ball, he just has another level. He is a very dynamic player.
“I think he is definitely best when he plays centrally – that is where he played for both Brondby and Frankfurt – and he was very successful.
“He can play either as a number eight or a number 10. He isn’t a traditional number 10 because he is more dynamic, good at finding extra space, and he can drift to the wing or a little bit further back on the pitch. He can even be used as a second striker.”
