# Liverpool: Fabrizio Romano provides encouraging Arnaut Danjuma update

**Liverpool remain interested in signing Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma but a deal won’t happen in [January](https://www.givemesport.com/1754870-january-transfer-window-2022-when-does-it-open-when-does-it-close-and-which-players-are-going-to-move), according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Reds linked with Danjuma move

The Reds had a quiet summer transfer window and there may have been a feeling that an attacking signing was needed in order to add more depth in the final third.

Danjuma is one player who has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-transfers-romano-danjuma-update/) with a move to Anfield since then, having ended up staying put at Villarreal in the summer.

The 24-year-old has [scored five goals and registered two assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/323625/Show/Arnaut-Danjuma) in La Liga this season, making 10 starts in the division to date. He also found the net [four times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/323625/Show/Arnaut-Danjuma) in six Champions League group stage appearances, making an impression in Europe’s premier club competition.

### The Latest: Romano provides Danjuma update

Taking to Twitter on Christmas Day, Romano provided an update on the situation, confirming that Liverpool still see him as a potential transfer target but quashing any prospects of a move in next month’s transfer window.

He [tweeted](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1474793202666418184?s=20): “Danjuma will not leave Villarreal in January. Liverpool are among top clubs monitoring him for the future but there are no talks for January – he’s staying.”

### The Verdict: Strong squad option

Danujma is the perfect type of signing that Liverpool should be looking to make moving forward – someone already performing at a high level but who could become even more of a force under Jurgen Klopp.

The Dutchman has been [hailed](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/04/blogs/championship/bournemouth/bournemouth-jonathan-woodgate-praises-arnaut-danjuma/) as ‘exceptional’ by Jonathan Woodgate following a two-year spell at Bournemouth, and [two goals in five caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arnaut-danjuma/nationalmannschaft/spieler/355861/verein_id/3379) for Netherlands is a promising return.

Danjuma could come in and be a strong backup for the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane – at 24, he would also be a long-term signing, much in the same way that Liverpool’s African superstars were when they first came to Anfield.
