Newcastle fans want Unai Emery to bring Villarreal star with him, after Champions League goal
Unai Emery is reportedly closing in on the Newcastle United job, despite managing Villarreal on Tuesday night. The Spaniard guided his side to a 2-0 win in the Champions League over Young Boys. Arnaut Danjuma got the second of the goals – and Newcastle fans want Danjuma to join Emery.
According to some reports, 49-year-old Emery is on the verge of completing a move to Newcastle – and has managed his last game as Villarreal boss. that having spoken to Amanda Staveley on Zoom over the weekend, Newcastle are confident of the ex-Arsenal gaffer’s arrival.
However, since then, that Newcastle will be rejected by Emery. They cite that Emery is unconvinced by the project and direction of the club’s new owners. Slightly damning, if the Toon do fail to get a deal over the line.
That is, especially because Emery’s compensation fee would be a measly Everything remains up in the air, but Newcastle fans will be hopeful that Craig Hope of the Mail is correct. Emery has excelled as Villarreal manager, winning the Europa League last season.
This time around, the Yellow Submarine are struggling for consistency – losing six of their 11 league games and winning just two of the other five. The next couple of days will prove interesting – with Eddie Howe, Paulo Fonseca and Roberto Martinez also said to be in the running.
Danjuma shines for Villarreal, could Newcastle eye Dutchman?
Emery watched on Danjuma and co. earned three crucial Champions League points. They sit in second place after four games, joint level with first-placed Manchester United – two ahead of Atalanta and four in front of Young Boys. It was a crucial win, with Danjuma scoring a second.
Signed from Bournemouth in the summer for a fee of just £21.25million (), Danjuma has exceeded all expectation at Villarreal. He already has seven goals in 14 games – scoring five in 10 La Liga outings. Having scored on Tuesday, Danjuma has two in four Champions League games.
Already linked with a move to the Premier League, Danjuma would clearly be a stunning signing for Newcastle – especially if Emery joins. The Toon have a left winger in Allan Saint-Maximin and a striker in Callum Wilson, but do need a right winger. Danjuma would be ideal for The Toon.
What are Newcastle fans saying about Danjuma on Twitter?
Ryan Fraser has been in and out of the side since joining the club. Matt Ritchie has been used as a left-back more recently, while Jacob Murphy is currently a right wing-back – despite being signed as a winger, or even a 10. Miguel Almiron operates best as a 10, not a winger.
So, Newcastle could really do with a right winger and while Danjuma has been used from the left this season – he can operate on either flank. Newcastle fans think he would be a top signing for the club, ordering the new owners to follow Emery with Danjuma.
