Agent confirms Arnaut Danjuma in talks over Everton exit live on talkSPORT

Arnaut Danjuma, who is on loan from Everton, has an agent named Michael-Moses Jarman, and he has disclosed that negotiations are taking place with Lyon, a Ligue 1 team, over a potential January move.

Jarman revealed that there have been discussions regarding his departure because of his lack of playing time under Sean Dyche, and he insisted that the next three weeks of the transfer market will be fascinating.

For Danjuma to move to Lyon, his parent club Villarreal would need to recall him from his loan at Everton and agree to another with the French outfit, with those conversations continuing.

Jarman was speaking live on talkSPORT [9 January, 12:51] as he revealed: “There are conversations ongoing. He’s happy, he’s settled at Everton, we’ve got a contract with Everton, so it’s only respectful that that’s where the conversation stands.

“But he’s not getting his minutes at the moment under Mr Dyche, and what’s best for his career is to play football. “There has been interest and conversations are ongoing with Olympique Lyonnais, it’s been reported in the media so I’ll confirm it. It’ll be an interesting three weeks.”

An exit is edging closer

It is very like that Danjuma will leave Goodison Park in January after failing to live up to the hype surrounding his much-anticipated stint under Dyche, despite a lot of conjecture about his future there.

There were great expectations for him when he joined in the summer after turning down a transfer to Everton in favor of a short-term loan with Tottenham, but after just three Premier League starts, he is trying to leave immediately.

The fact that his agent was so forthright about it on talkSPORT implies that the transaction is closer to completion than some may have thought, and Danjuma’s departure now seems certain to occur in the coming weeks.

With their depth already poor, especially in the wide areas, and set to get even thinner, it is unclear if this means Everton will be compelled to enter the transfer market in search of a new player, but their hand may be pressed.
