A forward who has been heavily linked with Liverpool appears to be closing in on a move to the Premier League.
Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma has been credited as a potential target for Liverpool ever since last year. He left Bournemouth last summer to complete a £19million move to Villarreal.
Ever since then, Danjuma has been linked with a move to Anfield. However, a fresh report from The Mirror says that a different Premier League team are closing in on his signature.

The report states that West Ham have now agreed personal terms with Danjuma ahead of a move. It has even been claimed that the Netherlands international will be in London this week to complete the deal.
Even though personal terms have apparently been agreed, the report states that the final details of a fee are yet to be sorted out. Danjuma has a £43m release clause in his contract, but it has been reported that West Ham hope to secure a deal worth £38.5m for the winger.
While Danjuma has been heavily linked with Liverpool, the player himself even addressed those rumours last month. The 25-year-old admitted that he has “unfinished business” with the Premier League, and was aware of the links with a move to Anfield.
"I did an interview in Holland, I’m aware of the interest and they asked me if I’m aware of the interest,” Danjuma told Sky Sports last month.
“You’re aware of it, I’m aware of it because it’s been in the press, my phone went off all the time so I’m aware of the interest because of the media.
"I never actually confirmed interest from Liverpool because the only one who confirms that to me is my team, I haven’t heard anything from my team and as it stands I’m enjoying my football at Villarreal, I’m really happy there at the minute.
"There’s definitely unfinished business for me in England. The reason why I joined Bournemouth initially was me to play Premier League football.
"We had a fantastic season, Unai, the fans and the entire club have been unbelievable to me so I would never try to downgrade the club I’m playing for, I’m really happy there."
