Everton are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing Bournemouth attacker Arnaut Danjuma to Goodison Park this summer.

The Dutchman, who's scored 17 goals and provided seven assists in the Championship this season, is also being looked at by Premier League duo West Ham and Wolves, per Football League World.

Having joined Bournemouth for a fee in the region of 14m [BBC], the Nigeria-born Dutch international struggled in his first campaign at the club.

Bournemouth, who were in the Premier League, before getting relegated, handed Danjuma only six starts all season and a further eight appearances off the bench.

He failed to bag a single goal or assist and manager Eddie Howe wasn't too impressed by his performances.

However, this season, he's turned it around to become one of the Championship's best attacking players.

He's been a consistent thorn in opposition defences and could be ready to terrify the Premier League full-backs next season.

Arnaut Danjuma

Worth a punt

Danjuma had a torrid time last season, but it is understandable for foreign signings to take time to adapt to life in England.

Bournemouth as a team were on the decline, so it's hard to fault under-performing individuals.

This season when the Cherries did well and narrowly missed out on the play-offs final - losing to Brentford in the semis - Danjuma was pivotal in guiding Jonathan Woodgate's side to a top-six finish.

His trickery and immense pace make him a signing worth exploring for us this summer. Despite being a left-winger, he's got the know-how of finding spaces in the penalty area and has a number nine's instinct of scoring goals.

In all competitions this season, the Dutch international has scored 19 goals from an xG (Expected Goals) total of 9.39 - showing that he's doubly as clinical as your average goal scorer.

If given the chance and played in the right system, the 24-year-old will guarantee you double figures every season.
