Liverpool have been heavily linked with Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma – and he has now shown his quality right in front of Virgil van Dijk.

Voetbal International reported last month that Liverpool were scouting Danjuma for Villarreal against Manchester United.

Liverpool showed an interest in Danjuma over the summer, but he left Bournemouth for Villarreal.

The Reds allegedly see Danjuma as an heir to Sadio Mane on the left of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool attack.

If Liverpool need more information on Danjuma, they may well ask Virgil van Dijk…

Liverpool target Danjuma joins Van Dijk on Netherlands scoresheet

You would expect the Netherlands to destroy Gibralter, and that’s exactly what happened on Monday night.

Memphis atoned with a close-range finish and then a successful penalty. Denzel Dumfries made it 4-0 with Danjuma adding another, firing home from a Wout Weghorst flick-on.

Donyell Malen wrapped up a 6-0 win late on, capping off a perfect night for the Dutch.

Danjuma was spotted celebrating with Liverpool defender Van Dijk after his goal, sharing an embrace with the centre back.

That’s a sight Liverpool fans could get used to in the near future, if the Reds get their way in the transfer market.
