West Ham United have been handed a very big boost indeed with the news that Villarreal are eyeing up a replacement for Arnaut Danjuma.

All Nigeria Soccer claim that the La Liga side want to sign Almeria centre-forward Umar Sadiq in preparation for Danjuma’s exit from the Estadio de la Cerámica.

Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring the capped Holland international attacker to the London Stadium this summer according to a report from The Guardian.

West Ham actually made a big error by not signing the 25-year-old forward last summer in my opinion.

Villarreal only paid £21 million to sign Danjuma last year according to Sky Sports.

And now the Hammers face paying anywhere from £39 million to £62 million for the Dutchman.

West Ham handed Danjuma boost

Whilst the fact that the Hammers will have to pay a lot more for the 25-year-old now than last summer is very annoying, it seems as though there is some good news for us to digest.

All Nigeria Soccer claim that Villarreal have lined up a move to sign Almeria attacker Umar Sadiq in preparation for Danjuma’s exit from the club.

Let’s just hope that West Ham are able to sign the ex-Bournemouth forward for a reasonable fee because he would be a truly exceptional addition for us in the summer transfer window.

He bagged 16 goals and four assists in 34 games for the La Liga side last season (Transfermarkt).

The 25-year-old can play anywhere across the front-line and already has experience of playing in the Premier League.

Danjuma has pace and power in abundance and made his name on the very biggest stage in the Champions League last season.

The Dutch flyer would take the Hammers’ attacking play to a new level entirely if he does end up moving to the London Stadium.

And the news that Villarreal are lining up a replacement for Danjuma is undoubtedly a huge boost for West Ham United.
