There is a ‘50% chance’ that Arnaut Danjuma will leave Villarreal this summer amid interest from the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United, Megasportsarena.com reports.
Newly mega-rich Newcastle are already‘considering transfer for the Villarreal striker.
The tricky winger left Bournemouth last summer for a new challenge with Unai Emery’s Europa League winners.
And he continued his fine goal scoring form and dazzling displays on mainland Europe, netting 16 goals across all competitions this term.
Danjuma’s performances in the Champions League, in particular, caught the eye and he played a pivotal role in the Yellow Submarine reaching the semis.
Danjuma is attracting interest from England less than a year after he left with Newcastle, as well as Liverpool said to be watching. But it’s Newcastle who have stepped up their scouting of Danjuma in recent weeks ahead of a potential £40million move.
The Magpies could convince Danjuma to return to England with Eddie Howe as their manager. Howe signed Danjuma for Bournemouth from Club Brugge in 2019.
Despite primarily playing as a striker under Emery this term, Danjuma can also operate out wide on the left. The 25-year-old could be a replacement for Toon fan favourite Allan Saint-Maximin, with the Frenchman’s future uncertain.
