FC Red Bull Salzburg have strengthened their attack with the signing of Jesper Lindstrom. The 26-year-old Dane joins the Red Bulls on loan from Italian Serie A club SSC Napoli.

Lindstrom developed in his native Denmark at Brøndby IF, where he also made the leap to professional football. In 2021, the right-footed player moved to Eintracht Frankfurt, with whom he won the UEFA Europa League in 2022. After two successful years in the German Bundesliga, he transferred to SSC Napoli in 2023, making 29 appearances. More recently, the attacking midfielder has spent time on loan at Everton and Wolfsburg, among other clubs.

The 18-time Danish international is a versatile attacking player, capable of playing in attacking midfield as well as on the wings.

With Jesper Lindstrom, we're adding an internationally experienced attacking player who has already seen a lot and fits our style of football very well. Jesper brings pace, technical quality, and versatility, can play several attacking positions, and has gained valuable experience in Denmark, Germany, Italy and England. We are convinced that he will give our team additional options.

I'm really looking forward to this new challenge at FC Red Bull Salzburg. The club is known for its attractive style of football, its success in the league, and its achievements on the European stage. I want to contribute with my performances and my goals to help us get back on track and back to that level. For me, this is an exciting challenge, especially because this style of football suits me very well.
