index

There seem to be a lot of rumors circulating the future of Bournemouth starlet Arnaut Danjuma this summer, with reports linking him with moves to several clubs. The young Netherlands international forward has been a gem for Bournemouth since making his first senior appearance for the club and he has continued to be linked with an exit from the Cherries since then. At such a young age, Danjuma has been regarded as an exciting talent and has also been tipped to have a bright future ahead of him. After his spell with the Bournemouth youth team, he was spotted as one of the most impressive youngsters at the academy and was promoted to the first team.

Since getting his promotion, he hasn’t looked back and has continued to grow from strength to strength. He was handed his senior debut before the end of last season and is seen as a prospect. However, Bournemouth may have to sell him in the coming days or weeks as it continues to look hard for them to keep hold of the starlet following the continued interest from clubs around Europe. Benfica are not the only club that want to sign Danjuma this summer as he is being chased by Italian Serie A outfits, Lazio and Atalanta.
