Former Everton forward Arnaut Danjuma has recently revealed that he is open to the idea of joining Liverpool in the future. Currently on loan at Girona from Villarreal, the Dutch striker has expressed his interest in playing for both Merseyside clubs at some point in his career.
Danjuma’s admission comes as a surprise, considering his past stint at Everton, but his ambition to feature for Liverpool indicates his desire to compete at the highest level in the Premier League. Whether or not this potential move materializes, it certainly adds an interesting twist to his career trajectory, especially given the rivalry between the two Merseyside clubs.
The 27-year-old Arnaut Danjuma spent last season on loan at Everton from Villarreal, where he scored two goals in 20 appearances across all competitions for the Toffees. Following his return to Villarreal, Danjuma was loaned out again, this time to Girona during the recent summer transfer window.
Interestingly, before his move to Everton, Danjuma held discussions with Liverpool’s current manager, Arne Slot, regarding a potential transfer to Feyenoord, where Slot previously managed. While the move didn’t materialize, it highlights the Dutch forward’s strong connections within football circles and his ambitions to play at top clubs.
The 27-year-old Dutchman, who earns £52,000 per week, recently revealed that he was close to returning to the Netherlands with a move to Feyenoord before ultimately signing with Everton. Danjuma shared these details during an interview with ESPN NL’s De Voetbalkantine, with his comments later relayed by FC Update.
The 27-year-old Dutchman, Arnaut Danjuma, struggled to attract significant interest from Premier League clubs after a disappointing 18 months in England, which included his loan spell at Everton. Despite this dip in form, Danjuma still possesses considerable talent and has plenty of time to earn another opportunity in the English top flight.
