Chelsea join Newcastle and AC Milan in transfer battle for Villarreal's red-hot Dutch striker

Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma has been a name linked with a move to some of Europe's biggest clubs after impressing in La Liga. The Dutchman's maiden season in Spain saw him notch in 16 goals in all competitions after joining from AFC Bournemouth.

Danjuma, 25, was pivotal in Unai Emery's side reaching to the Champions League semi-finals last season, scoring six goals in the competition - the same as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe. He has continued to impress in front of goal this season with three goals, despite missing the first month of action.

Chelsea's striker position has been one filled with history and failures - recent examples of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner providing evidence of this. The summer signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has provided a short-term fix, but there's the likelihood that Graham Potter will seek a new No. 9 in the future.
