English club Liverpool's formidable front three are looking increasingly likely to be dismantled very soon, they have certainly lost the fear factor they possess and a fresh face coming into the fold is inevitable. Diogo Jota looks like he will be a long-term striker for the club and Divock Origi has certainly overstayed his time. One of Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah may leave soon and signing a striker who can give a fresh face of threat to the attack is needed. In lieu of that, the club are eyeing Arnaut Danjuma.

 

Who is Arnaut Danjuma?

Arnaut Danjuma is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club Villarreal and the Dutch national team, despite being born in NIgeria to a Dutch father and a Nigerian mother. He was given his Dutch national team debut by current Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman. He began his professional career at PSV Eindhoven but was immediately sold to NEC Nijmegen in the Dutch League. He left the club after two years to join Belgian club Club Brugge. He left after just a season to join English club AFC Bournemouth. Liverpool missed the opportunity to sign him before his move to Villarreal but have rekindled interest in him after impressive performances for Villarreal.

 

What are his career numbers?

Arnaut Danjuma has played for clubs across Europe. In the Netherlands, Belgium, England and currently plays in Spain. At 24, he has played 173 club games, scored 54 goals and provided a further 33 assists, quite an impressive record for a player operating on the wing. He has played two UEFA Champions League games for Villarreal and scored two goals. He delivered a man of the match performance against Manchester United despite his team losing to a last minute Cristiano Ronaldo goal, but he was a menace in the match, causing Manchester United right back Diogo Dalot a lot of problems. In La Liga he has played five games and scored two goals.

What is Danjuma's market value and his net worth?

Villarreal signed Danjuma from AFC Bournemouth for €23m and will take in the same region if Liverpool will price him away from the Yellow submarines after just a year. Danjuma earns a reported €23,000 per week and a out €1.2m per year. He has a net worth of about €6m.
