Nigerian-born forward Arnaut Danjuma has completed a switch to Everton ahead of the new 2023/24 football season.
This was disclosed by Everton on Sunday
According to the club, Danjuma signed a season- long loan deal from LaLiga club Villarreal.
Speaking via the club’s website, the Everton loanee said, “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.
“I hope to bring a lot of goals and a lot of assists. The manager has clearly improved the team and there is a process ahead with him in charge that I am very excited to be a part of.
“I am very eager to perform and very determined to contribute to the entire club. There’s no vein in my body that doubts my quality, and I’m very determined to now show that for the Evertonians.”
Danjuma who has now teamed up with Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi was close to joining Everton in January, but instead linked up with Tottenham Hotspur.
He will wear jersey number 10 at his new club.
