West Ham are close to sign Villarreal player Arnaut Danjuma now. They are planning to trigger his release clause worth 34 million pounds (~39.6 million euros). This shouldn't be much problem for West Ham and he is totally worth the deal. His performance in the La Liga and the Champions League both was superb last season. He got 16 goals and 4 assists in 34 matches. He can play as a left winger and striker both which is another plus for them. He is familiar with the Premier League too so he shouldn't have any problem on adapting.
It is a good move for West Ham but I doubt this move will make them go even further in climbing more places in the standings compared to last year.This is because a lot of other teams in the Premier League are doing the same as West Ham signing good players in order to improve their overall team performance.I predict a really strong Premier League this year,mostly in the fight for the top 4 rather than for the title as the strongest teams here remain again City and Liverpool and the title I am sure will be shared to one of these teams.
Danjuma brilliant performance with Villarreal this season has made Danjuma attractive to several European clubs. Moreover, Danjuma helped Villarreal
reach the semifinals of the Champions League, meaning that Danjuma will definitely get the attention of several clubs in Europe. One of them is
West Ham, who are said to be at the forefront of signing Danjuma. Now it is reported that West Ham and Villarreal are in the process of
negotiating, hopefully the negotiation process can go smoothly. It is true that if West Ham managed to get Danjuma there is no guarantee
West Ham's ranking in the EPL will increase. But at least Danjuma will make West Ham's goal productivity increase, and can help West Ham to achieve
more wins. Even though Danjuma was once rumored to be moving to Liverpool, but the rumors suddenly disappeared after Liverpool managed to get
Darwin Nunez from Benfica. So now that the strongest candidate for Danjuma is West Ham, we will see if Danjuma's move to West Ham can be
realized soon.
