Memphis Depay tells Villarreal star to accept Lyon loan move – report

Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma could still leave Premier League side Everton before the end of the January transfer window.

The Dutch international has endured a mixed 12 months since opting to leave Castellon on loan to join Tottenham back in January 2023.

The move to take him to North London came about in a bizarre set of circumstances, after agreeing to join Everton for the second half of the 2022/23 campaign, before Spurs swooped to seal a last minute deal.

Everton boss Sean Dyche has previously insisted he is not looking to offload Danjuma this month, despite rumours of an offer being made by Ligue 1 side Lyon, but the links remain.

As per reports from French journalist Santi Aouna, via Foot Mercato, Lyon are still hopeful of persuading Villarreal and Everton to facilitate a move until the end of the season.
