Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma has suggested he misses the Premier League, amid transfer links to Newcastle United.
The Netherlands international has given an interview with 90min, and spoken about his future.
Danjuma was also previewing Villarreal’s Champions League clash with German giants Bayern Munich.
That game ended up 1-0 to the Spanish outfit, with Danjuma scoring the game’s only goal.
That was his 14th goal of the season so far, and Danjuma is certainly catching the eye.
Earlier this month, there was a claim from the Mirror (via the Express) that Newcastle were interested.
It was reported that the Magpies could look to use Miguel Almiron in a potential swap deal. Realistically, Newcastle would have to offer Almiron plus cash to have any chance of signing Danjuma.
It remains to be seen if Newcastle will go in for him. Surely there would be a reasonable chance of him coming since he previously worked with Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall at Bournemouth.
Promisingly, Danjuma certainly seems open to playing in the Premier League again.
He told 90min: “I 100% enjoyed my time in England. Looking back now I no way appreciated it as much as I should have done when I lived there,” he said
“For me, it’s just such a nice country to live in and I’m fluent in the language so that helps as well! I’m trying my best at Spanish as well. I’ve got family that still lives in England.
“In terms of the Premier League, it’s indescribable. The thing I will never forget in the Premier League is the fans. If you just walk into the stadium you cannot replicate the feeling of a Premier League game elsewhere in the world, it’s different.
“So in that regard you are always going to miss a bit of England. If I’m returning one day, I guess that’s up to the way I perform and what the future holds for me.”
Arnaut Danjuma open to Premier League return and Newcastle have got to keep an eye on him
Danjuma is clearly fond of the Premier League, and it seems he would like to return if the opportunity came up.
He has obviously worked with Eddie Howe before, so he may well like to reunite of Newcastle did express interest this summer.
Danjuma is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
14 goals so far this term is a fantastic return. He looks to have done some serious developing since leaving the Cherries.
He would potentially make for a great addition for the Magpies.
