      According to The Athletic, Danjuma is on the radar for a number of clubs.

      However, Villa will face pressure from Bournemouth and Frank Lampard’s Everton to seal a deal.

      And neither side boasts a player with more than four goals, with Kieffer Moore and Phillip Billing on four at the Vitality Stadium and Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray on three at Goodison Park.

      Villa have Danny Ings, but he seems to have fallen out of favour at the club since Christmas, despite his equaliser against Wolves earlier this month.
      With both Crystal Palace and Everton interested in signing Ings, a transfer for Danjuma may consequently trigger a move for the Englishman. More

      “I’m honest, I’m very clear. When I want to say something I speak inside the family and our family is the dressing room. I don’t want to speak about the communication of his agent, because I don’t know him, I know only Leo.
      “I’m ready to listen to him without a problem, because this situation is important.
      “It’s not a bad situation, it’s a great situation, because if he learns, if we improve our way, we can only improve, and to achieve our dreams there is only one way.
      “To be open to improve and ready to work hard, because we are Brighton, a team of medium level in this competition, so we have to think about the team more than ourselves.” More
