Everton FC is extremely delighted to announce the completion of signing Netherlands forward, Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal on a seasong-long loan in this summer transfer window.

Danjuma chose to join Tottenham on loan in January despite receiving a similar offer from Everton.

But the 26-year-old endured a difficult spell at Tottenham, scoring only once in his nine Premier League appearances.

Danjuma agreed to accept Everton's latest approach amid interest in him from Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

Capped six times by the Netherlands, Danjuma was Villarreal's top scorer during their run to the Champions League semi-final in 2022.

He subsequently fell out of favour at the La Liga club and joined Bournemouth on loan in January 2020.

However, he failed to net a single goal as Bournemouth were relegated to the Championship.

“It’s amazing to join Everton and I’m really happy to be here,” Danjuma told the club's official website. “It’s been a long time coming to join such a massive club as Everton and it makes me proud.

“I had interest from other clubs but there was a pull towards Everton because of the fans, the manager and the history of the club and it’s second time lucky for me."

Everton are next in pre-season action against Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday.

They kick off their 2023-24 Premier League campaign against Fulham on Saturday 12 August.
