Arnaut Danjuma is relishing his ‘second time lucky’ signing for Everton.
Danjuma secured a season-long loan to Goodison Park on Sunday, just six months after abandoned his original switch with a dramatic late U-turn.
The Netherlands international had been on the verge of joining the Blues in January before instead choosing a move to Premier League rivals Tottenham.
But Danjuma has explained the reasons why his previous transfer failed to materialise and why he jumped at the chance to join Sean Dyche’s side again.
He said: “It’s been a long time coming to join such a massive club as Everton and it makes me proud.
“I had interest from other clubs but there was a pull towards Everton because of the fans, the manager and the history of the club and it’s second time lucky for me.
“I know I did not move to the club in January, that was because there was some uncertainty over the manager situation at that time.
“But I think it makes it even more beautiful for me to join now. I am very grateful to be at the club and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans as well.”
