Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma has travelled to England for talks over a potential move amid strong interest from Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.

That’s according to The Athletic, who claim that Villarreal have given Danjuma permission to fly over to the UK for negotiations.

Villarreal have made Danjuma available this month and are open to a six-month loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.

Bournemouth are understood to be very interested in re-signing Danjuma having sold him to Villarreal in 2021.

There is plenty of interest from elsewhere though with other Premier League clubs also chasing the Dutch wide man.

The Daily Mail reported on Friday that Aston Villa, Everton and even Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in Danjuma.

Tottenham are looking for a versatile attacker and Danjuma may just fit the bill, especially on an initial loan deal.

Cadena Ser reported just a few days ago that Everton had entered into talks with Villarreal over a deal for Danjuma, so you would assume he is speaking to Everton, Spurs and many more.

Who is Tottenham and Everton target Arnaut Danjuma?

Danjuma was actually born in Lagos in Nigeria, with his mother form Nigeria and his father from the Netherlands.

After starting in the ranks of TOP Oss in the Netherlands, Danjuma was snapped up by PSV Eindhoven and spent eight years in their ranks before moving to NEC Nijmegen in 2016.

Danjuma racked up 13 goals in his final season for NEC and even spent time playing under Liverpool assistant Pepijn Lijnders there.

Club Brugge saw enough to sign him in 2018 and his meteoric rise continued with Bournemouth snapping him up after just a year in Belgium.

Danjuma’s Premier League stint didn’t go to plan as he managed just 14 appearances and no goals for the Cherries.

Danjuma started to click in the Championship though, smashing 17 goals in 37 games to earn that move to Villarreal.

It felt like there was no stopping Danjuma last season as 16 goals in all competitions really put him on the radar of top clubs around Europe.

This season has been trickier and Danjuma missed out on a spot in the Netherlands’ World Cup squad, which has maybe sparked the desire to move to the Premier League.

Still only 25, Danjuma has bags of ability and has been hailed as ‘explosive’ by BT Sport pundit Owen Hargreaves – something Everton, Tottenham and other clubs are hoping to see if they can sign him.
