Arnaut Danjuma is the perfect example of how unpredictable football is and how much your career can turn 180 degrees in just a few months. The Dutch striker played in the semi-finals of the Champions League with Villarreal a little more than half a year ago, and in the next six months he will face a fierce fight for survival in the Premier League.According to European media, Danjuma has made a definitive decision about the next step in his career. In the ‘sea’ of offers, he chose Everton and will wear the jersey of the club from Goodison until the end of the season as a loan player from Villarreal. It is a loan without the buyout option, which means that Danjuma will return to Madrigal in the summer.##NAJAVA_MECA_6962754##The status of the Dutch forward has changed significantly this season. Last season, he was Villarreal’s top scorer in the Primera Division (ten goals) and the Champions League (six goals), even Liverpool allegedly took an interest in him then, but in the current season he lost his starting position to Nicolas Jackson. Also, his status did not change with the arrival of Quique Setien on the bench, so the club management allowed him to travel to London a few days ago to talk with interested clubs.There were offers galore – he was contacted by West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Ajax, numerous Italian, Spanish and French clubs, as well as his former teams PSV and Bournemouth, but the 25-year-old Danjuma decided to help Everton in the fight for survival. Admittedly, whichever of the aforementioned Premier League clubs he chose, he would face a similar challenge.Late night here we go confirmed. Danjuma, now set to undergo medical tests in Merseyside after approving Everton move around 1am – contracts sealed between Villarreal and Everton for loan deal. 🔵🩺French, Dutch, English club wanted him – Danjuma to #EFC will be official soon. pic.twitter.com/k11Cz1teSi— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 21, 2023 Danjuma scored six goals in 17 games in all competitions this season (two each in the Primera Division, the Copa del Rey and the Conference League), and for Bournemouth in 14 matches in the Premier League, he never managed to find the back of the net. If he wants to be of any help to Frank Lampard, he will have to change that. Everton are currently second to last with 15 points, one less than the safe zone, and only 15 goals scored, Wolverhampton being the only to score less (12).
