Fabrizio Romano shares Everton transfer news on Arnaut Danjuma loan, contracts sealed
Fabrizio Romano has shared that Everton completed a loan agreement for Arnaut Danjuma at 1 am on 21 January and the signing will be made official soon.
The transfer guru shared that the contracts are now signed and sealed, with the Dutchman now set to undergo medical tests on Merseyside.
Romano also reported that the Blues beat off competition from around Europe, with French, Dutch and other English clubs vying for his signature.
“Late night here we go confirmed. Danjuma, now set to undergo medical tests in Merseyside after approving Everton move around 1am – contracts sealed between Villarreal and Everton for loan deal,” said Romano on Twitter. (21 January, 7:56 AM)
“French, Dutch, English club wanted him – Danjuma to Everton will be official soon.”
Tricky January.
The January transfer window is shorter than the summer window, giving teams less time to negotiate and complete deals and this has been a problem for the Blues.
It means teams may be less willing to sell key players during the middle of the season, as it can disrupt their own campaign.
Prices for players are often higher in the January window, as teams may be more desperate to make a signing and clubs may be less willing to let players go at a discount, in this case, the proposed loan seems to fit all parties involved.
Everton have had to deal with the added pressure of making a signing that can help them in the second half of the season and avoid the risk of being relegated.
With luck, Danjuma can be the man to solve some of the Toffees problems, he’s a top talent and is leaps and bounds above any other options they currently have up top.
