West Ham and Southampton keen on Arnaut Danjuma transfer with Bournemouth midfielder impressing in Championship


ARNAUT DANJUMA is being tracked by Southampton and West Ham.

The winger, 24, joined Bournemouth for £13.7million two summers ago but endured an injury-hit campaign last term and could not save the South-Coast side from relegation.

He has impressed this term in the Championship though, netting ten league goals.

Saints comfortably saw off the Cherries in the FA Cup quarter-final at Dean Court last weekend but Danjuma’s display was one positive for the hosts.

Now Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are weighing up a summer move – but could face competition from the Hammers who are also monitoring the attacker’s progress.

Danjuma has two caps for Holland but Nigeria are trying to persuade him to switch allegiances to the Super Eagles.

The Cherries livewire was born in Lagos to a Nigerian mother and Dutch father.

He moved to Holland aged four and eventually joined PSV’s academy.

The forward won his two caps for the Oranje in 2018 against Germany in the Nations League and a friendly versus Belgium in which he scored.

A rule change was approved by Fifa in September meaning players can switch countries if they have played no more than three competitive games.

This would allow Danjuma to play for the Super Eagles despite his Nations League appearance.

Since joining Bournemouth, where he is primarily deployed on the left wing, Danjuma has scored ten goals and assisted five in a total of 42 appearances for the South Coast club.
