Jesper Lindstrom is joining us on loan from Napoli

FC Red Bull Salzburg is bolstering its offense with Jesper Lindstrom. The 26-year-old Dane is joining our Red Bulls on loan from the Italian Serie A club SSC Napoli.

Lindstrom came up through the youth system at Brøndby IF in his home country, where he also made the leap to professional soccer. In 2021, the right-footed player joined Eintracht Frankfurt, with whom he won the UEFA Europa League in 2022. After two strong seasons in the German Bundesliga, he transferred to SSC Napoli in 2023, where he made 29 appearances. More recently, the attacking midfielder has played on loan for Everton FC and VfL Wolfsburg, among others.

The player, who has earned 18 caps for the Danish national team, is versatile on offense and can play both in attacking midfield and on the wings.
