Reported Liverpool and Leeds target Arnaut Danjuma is having a medical at Villarreal, according to a report.

Sky Sports report that the Bournemouth winger will be joining the Europa League winners in a deal that could total £21.3 million.

The 24-year-old was attracting interest from several clubs this summer, including the likes of Liverpool, Leeds and Aston Villa, who are now going to miss out.

There were even suggestions from the goalscoring wideman, as he told Voetbal international, that he would welcome a move to Elland Road.

But now Danjuma is set to swap Championship football for playing against the elite in the Champions League.

Whilst playing for someone like Liverpool won’t happen now, the Dutchman might still come up against them if Unai Emery’s side end up getting matched up with the six-time European Cup winners.

Even though he plays out on the flanks, Danjuma is someone who likes to make goalscoring runs from wide areas.

He has a few tricks up his sleeves, the ability to go both ways and pace to his game that make him more of a nightmare to deal with.

That’s why the two-capped Holland international scored 17 goals in total for Bournemouth last season (transfermarkt) – they lost in the play-offs to Brentford.

If he can take those goalscoring talents and performances to La Liga then it won’t be too long before he adds to his national caps and he is joining the likes of Virgil van Dijk on the international stage.
