# Everton: Blues ‘pushing’ to sign Arnaut Danjuma

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are ‘pushing’ to complete the signing of Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma but ‘many clubs’ are keen, journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Danjuma linked with PL move

The Dutchman has found himself struggling for playing time at Villarreal so far this season, only making [ten](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/323625/Show/Arnaut-Danjuma) [La Liga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/la-liga-news/) appearances, of which just six have been starts.

Aston Villa are arguably the club who have been most strongly [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/aston-villa-premier-league-arnaut-danjuma-unai-emery-transfer-news-updates/) with a move for Danjuma, with a switch to the Premier League potentially on the cards.

Now, it looks as though Everton could also be in the mix, having already been [tipped](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/january-transfer-news-danjuma-villarreal-premier-league/) to snap him up.

### The Latest: Everton ‘pushing’ for signing

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88103975-everton-sign-goodison-park-transfer-news-loan-fabrizio-romano), Romano put the Blues’ name in the hat regarding the signing of Danjuma, with Nottingham Forest also name-checked:

> “For Danjuma, there are many clubs interested. I’m told Everton are one of them. It’s true that Everton are pushing, but Nottingham Forest are also among clubs exploring this move.”

### The Verdict: Strong wide option

Danjuma may have struggled to get going so far this season but he could still be an inspired signing by Everton, providing Frank Lampard with much-needed attacking thrust.

The 25-year-old [scored 17 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arnaut-danjuma/alletore/spieler/355861) in 52 times for Bournemouth during a previous spell in England – an impressive return from out wide – and 22 in 51 for Villarreal is an even better record.

Danjuma has been [described](https://www.footballinsider247.com/danjuma-is-a-rare-talent-who-can-dazzle-for-liverpool-after-inside-sources-transfer-update-pundit/) as a ‘nightmare for defenders’ by Kevin Phillips and his arrival could help Everton stave off the very real threat of relegation to the Championship.
