The future of Arnaut Danjuma at Everton has become a subject of interest, with potential suitors including PSV, Olympique Lyon, and Crystal Palace.

The 26-year-old forward is currently under contract with Everton until the end of the season, but his playing time at the Premier League club has been limited.

Danjuma, who was loaned from Villarreal, has made thirteen appearances in the English league so far, but from early October onwards, he has often been utilized as a substitute. This has led to speculation about his potential departure from Everton during the winter transfer window.

Both Olympique Lyon and Crystal Palace see Danjuma as a player who can offer more playing time, providing him with a chance to showcase his skills on a more consistent basis. PSV, too, expressed interest in the Dutch international, particularly after the unfortunate injury news regarding Noa Lang.

However, the willingness of Everton to let Danjuma leave remains a key factor. At present, the club is reluctant to part ways with him. Everton's manager, Sean Dyche, is keen on maintaining a deep squad, especially considering the club's precarious position in the Premier League, where they are hovering just above the relegation zone with seventeen points.

For PSV, the financial aspect of acquiring Danjuma may pose a challenge. Nevertheless, Danjuma is no stranger to De Herdgang, having spent several years as a youth player at the Eindhoven club before departing for NEC in 2016.

As the winter transfer window unfolds, the future of Arnaut Danjuma remains uncertain, with potential moves to other clubs contingent on Everton's cooperation and the financial feasibility for interested parties like PSV, Lyon, and Crystal Palace.
