Signing Arnaut Danjuma will bring new dimension to West Ham attack
West Ham United are keen on making a move for Spanish club Villarreal’s striker Arnaut Danjuma, according to the Guardian.
The Hammers are in the market to sign an attacker in order to bolster their attacking options ahead of the next campaign.
Danjuma could be set for a huge year with and could be part of Louis Van Gaal’s squad for the upcoming World Cup due to his recent improvement.
The Dutch winger has four years left on his deal at Villarreal and is valued at £43m according to the Transfermarkt.
Unai Emery’s Villarreal is now one of the most feared underdogs in European football, especially after the last season’s heroics in the UEFA Champions League where they qualified for the semi-finals and eventually lost to Liverpool.
One of the reasons for the Yellow Submarine’s impressive season last year was the form of Danjuma.
In the recently concluded season with the 2021 Europa League champions, the 25-year-old scored 16 goals and provided four assists in 34 appearances across all competitions [Transfermarkt].
He was part of the side that beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals where he scored the winner in the first leg.
Will he bring the same kind of high moments at the London Stadium? That is a question only time can answer but looking at his performances in the recent past, it makes total sense as to why West Ham and David Moyes are keen on bringing the Dutch international to the club ahead of the next campaign.
This could be exactly what we need, time to get it done.
