Everton have reportedly agreed to sign Napoli winger Jesper Lindstrom on loan.
The 24-year-old is set to travel to Merseyside to undergo a medical to complete a temporary switch in the next 24 hours, according to Sky Sports.
Fabrizio Romano has added that the deal for the Denmark international includes a €3million loan fee as well as a €22m option to sign him permanently next summer.
Lindstrom joined Napoli last summer, making 29 appearances for the Serie A side but failing to score a goal during a tumultuous season for the Azzurri
That came after a fruitful spell with Eintracht Frankfurt, where he made 80 appearances, scored 14 goals and helped them win the Europa League in 2022.

If he can replicate that form as well as the talent he displayed at Brondby, the 16-cap international could provide a huge boost to Sean Dyche this season.
The Dane is set to become Everton’s fourth signing of the summer after Iliman Ndiaye, Tim Iroegbunam and Jack Harrison.
The Toffees are set to remain active in the transfer window this summer despite the disappointing collapse of their takeover by the Friedkin Group last week.
Further purchases may well depend on player sales though, with Amadou Onana leaving for Aston Villa for £50million earlier this week.
Defender Jarrad Branthwaite continues to be linked with the exit door, with Manchester United keen to land the England international.
