Arnaut Danjuma, who has already participated in 23 Premier League matches with Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur
Everton has officially confirmed the season-long loan acquisition of Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal.
The forward from the Netherlands had initially agreed to terms with Everton in January but was subsequently swayed to join Tottenham following a last-minute offer.
Danjuma, who is 26, played in nine matches for Tottenham before returning to Spain after the season concluded.
Danjuma expressed that his decision to forego a move to Merseyside in January was due to the uncertainty surrounding the managerial position at the time.
Everton’s former manager, Frank Lampard, was dismissed on 23 January, and Sean Dyche assumed the role seven days later, just one day prior to the transfer window shutting.
Everton manager Dyche has now signed Danjuma, following full-back Ashley Young, in a bid to prevent another struggle against relegation for the Blues.
Danjuma voiced his excitement about the move, saying, “I think it’s even more special to join now.”
Despite interest from other clubs, Danjuma was drawn towards Everton due to its dedicated fanbase, the manager, and the club’s rich history.
“It feels like second time’s the charm for me,” Danjuma added.
Danjuma, with six caps for the Netherlands, played a crucial role in the Villarreal team that was defeated by Liverpool in the 2021-22 Champions League semi-finals.
This marks Danjuma’s third stint in the English Premier League, after he first signed with Bournemouth in 2019 and then moved to La Liga in 2021.
The Toffees will kick off their Premier League season at home, facing Fulham on Saturday, 12 August.
