Arnaut Danjuma’s loan move to Everton could be finalised ‘in the next few hours’ as he was left out of Villarreal’s pre-season clash with Hannover.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo and AS, who say his absence for Villarreal’s third game of pre-season is ‘suspicious’ and hints he’s close to leaving.
Mundo state that Danjuma’s absence from the game ‘makes it clear’ that he could leave ‘in the next few hours’ as the negotiations for his move to Everton are ‘well advanced’.
The Spanish club and the forward have everything arranged for the loan deal to happen, something which already saw him miss out on their previously friendly.
Mundo now state that ‘everything points’ to the operation being closed in the next few hours and him finally moving to Goodison Park.
AS say similar and that his absence from the Hannover game almost certifies that he will be departing Villarreal sooner rather than later.
Negotiations with the Toffees are ‘very advanced’ and in fact the Dutch forward has ‘already closed’ his transfer to Merseyside.
According to their information, all that remains is for the procedures to be completed, we’ll assume they mean a medical and relevant documents being signed, and then for the operation to be closed.
It’s all positive from Spain either way, with both newspapers believing that Everton are close to getting their second signing of the summer transfer window over the line.
