Girona could be on the verge of making a splash on transfer deadline day, as they attempt to replenish Michel Sanchez’s stocks of talent for next season. Arnaut Danjuma is closing in on a move to Montilivi.
The Dutch forward had made peace with Raul Albiol and Villarreal squad after their falling out, and has started the season in fine form, scoring twice in Villarreal’s opening three games. However the Yellow Submarine are open to an exit, and Danjuma has been given permission to travel north to Girona to complete a loan move, as per Nil Sola and confirmed by Matteo Moretto.

La negociación está a punto de cerrarse, tal y como ha adelantado @Nilsola10.
El jugador tiene el visto bueno para viajar.

It will be a one-year loan with no option to buy as reported, and comes after Girona winger Iker Almena has had his €6m release clause activated by Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia. Another winger in Valery Fernandez has also been given permission to travel to RCD Mallorca to seal a loan move to Los Bermellones.

After signing Yacer Asprilla, Danjuma should give Michel’s attack a little more ability to get past defenders in one-on-one situations, and threaten space. With the exits of Almena, Yan Couto, Artem Dovbyk and Savio, the Girona manager will no doubt feel more comfortable with Danjuma coming through the door.
