Villarreal Target Umar Sadiq As Danjuma Looks Set To Exit

Villarreal are eyeing Newcastle target Umar Sadiq as a replacement for Arnaut Danjuma, who is wanted by West Ham.

Megasportsarena.com reports that David Moyes is keen to bring the forward back to the Premier League, but there is still plenty to do until the exciting winger arrives in east London.

West Ham are still trying to agree a fee with Villarreal, with the Hammers trying to talk the Spaniards down from their €45m (£39m) asking price.

Villarreal also need to sign a replacement, although they have made progress in that respect by identifying Sadiq.

Should Unai Emery be successful in his pursuit of the Nigerian, it would come as a blow to Newcastle, who have already made contact with Almeria in an attempt to sign the £50m man.

However, Newcastle’s loss would be West Ham’s gain, as Sadiq moving to Villarreal is set to free up Danjuma to join the Irons.

Interest in Danjuma comes after he impressively scored 16 goals in 34 appearances last season, following a move from Bournemouth.
