Everton are set to step up their interest in Leeds forward Wilfried Gnonto as they wrap up a loan deal for Denmark winger Jesper Lindstrom.

In a move that insiders say illustrates the club’s intention to persevere with their original transfer blueprint despite the collapse of the Friedkin Group takeover last week, Everton have secured a breakthrough in talks with Lindstrom’s parent club Napoli.

Talks have “progressed well” and i understands a loan move with an option to buy should be completed before the end of the week, which will enable Everton to move onto other targets.

Gnonto remains one of their priorities and i has been told money is still available for strengthening.
