“Everton Eye Last-Minute Swoop for Napoli’s Jens Cajuste: The Missing Piece in Midfield?”
Everton have joined the race to sign Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste, despite Ipswich Town already having an agreement in place, according to Tutto Napoli. The Italian outlet, citing Corriere del Mezzogiorno, reported on August 15 that the next few hours will be crucial as both clubs vie for the 25-year-old Swedish international.
Brentford is no longer in contention for the central midfielder’s signature.
Everton should make a strong effort to sign Jens Cajuste. His potential to significantly strengthen the team’s midfield should drive their interest. Cajuste’s versatility and physical presence make him a valuable asset, capable of playing as a box-to-box midfielder or taking on a defensive role when necessary.
With his ability to win duels and his improving technical skills, Cajuste would contribute to both defensive and offensive transitions. Considering Everton’s recent need for players who can adapt to various tactical setups under different managers, Cajuste’s adaptability could be vital.
Additionally, his age indicates a long-term investment, fitting Everton’s strategy of building a squad that balances experience with youth. His acquisition could also mark a shift towards a more dynamic midfield, providing the energy and tactical flexibility that Everton might currently lack. Cajuste could potentially be seen as a replacement for Amadou Onana.
