Napoli have confirmed the signing of Denmark international Jesper Lindstrom on a permanent deal from Eintracht Frankfurt.

The 23-year-old had been linked with several clubs during the summer transfer window, including reported interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham.

Lindstrom joined Frankfurt from Brondby in 2021 and went on to help the German club win the Europa League the following season with a penalty shoot-out victory over Scottish side Rangers.

The Denmark midfielder, who played at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, is said to have agreed a five-year deal with Napoli.

A brief statement from the Serie A side read: “Napoli is delighted to announce the signing of Jesper Lindstrom from Eintracht Frankfurt on a permanent transfer.”

Commenting on Lindstrom’s departure, Eintracht Frankfurt board member Markus Krosche said on the club’s website: “Over the last two years Jesper has played a big part in our positive development.

“Jesper’s time in Frankfurt was also notable for his impressive individual development, which is a good example of how we as a club are able to take highly talented players to the next level.

“We wish him all the best for his future in Naples.”
