Everton have agreed to sign Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste despite an agreement with Ipswich Town, according to Tutto Napoli. According to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, both teams are vying for the 25-year-old Swedish international in the next hours. Brentford are currently believed to be out of the running for the central midfielder’s services. Everton must work hard to sign Jens Cajuste. The club’s interest in the 25-year-old should stem from his ability to dramatically improve the squad’s midfield dynamics. Cajuste, recognized for his versatility and muscular presence, may provide Everton with a strong alternative in central midfield, where he can operate as a box-to-box midfielder or even shift into a defensive role if needed.
His propensity to win duels, paired with his improving technical proficiency, makes him a valuable asset during defensive and attacking transitions. Given the club’s previous history of requiring players who can adapt to varied tactical configurations under different managers, Cajuste’s versatility could be critical. Furthermore, his age signals a long-term commitment, which is consistent with Everton’s objective of building a squad that combines experience and young.
His signing could also indicate a transition towards a more dynamic midfield, offering the energy and tactical versatility that the Toffees may need in their present squad, and he could be Amadou Onana’s replacement.
