Transfer latest: Everton take Lindstrøm on loan, Palace poised to sign Sarr

• Danish attacking midfielder Lindstrøm joins from Napoli
• Former Watford forward Sarr set to leave Marseille

Everton have signed the Denmark international Jesper Lindstrøm on a season’s loan from Napoli. The deal for the attacking midfielder includes the option of a permanent transfer for €22.5m (£19m) next summer.

Lindstrøm, 24, had been tracked by Everton before he joined Napoli for €30m from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer. He had two productive campaigns in the Bundesliga, helping Eintracht win the Europa League in 2022 and playing in the Champions League the following season, but struggled to make an impact in Italy as Napoli endured a turbulent season. The former Serie A champions will receive a €2.5m loan fee from Everton, who will cover all of Lindstrøm’s wages.
