EVERTON have signed Netherlands international forward Arnaut Danjuma on a season-long loan from Villarreal.

The 26-year-old, who has played six times for his country, spent the second half of last season at Tottenham after they hijacked a deal for him to move to Goodison Park in January.

He scored only once in the Premier League for Spurs, netting during the 3-2 home defeat to Cherries in April.

Danjuma was a Cherries favourite during his two-year spell at the club, particularly his goalscoring exploits in the 2020-21 Championship season.

He left to join Villarreal, going on to be their top scorer during their run to the Champions League semi-final in 2022, but subsequently fell out of favour and was made available for loan.

Cherries tried to sign him on loan in January, before he ended up at Spurs.

“To join such a massive club as Everton and it makes me proud," he told the Toffees' website.

“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 know I did not move to the club in January, that was because there was some uncertainty over the manager situation at that time, but I think it makes it even more beautiful for me to join now."
