Danjuma looks like being Bournemouth's new goal machine

Arnaut Danjuma is already making a name for himself in the Championship. His third goal of the season was recorded on Wednesday night having already scored against Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City. Most importantly, Danjuma is becoming a match-winner and even with only a few minutes to impress against Bristol City Danjuma got many of the plaudits.

Danjuma is finding that he can be Bournemouth's big goal threat.

Danjuma seems you to be picking up great positions in and around the box and his first couple of goals were strikes from distance. He has perhaps gone under the radar of some teams as Dominic Solanke, Junior Stanislas and Josh King are the big names that will instantly attract attention from the opposition. It may be harder for Danjuma to sneak into advanced positions as opposition teams become wiser to him, but he is showing that he is becoming very calm when given an opportunity to score.

Jason Tindall has also been able to let Danjuma come infield a bit more with the 3-4-3 formation which suits Danjuma. He is very good at cutting inside and finishing with his right foot from the left-wing and I really think that Danjuma will nail down that position as the season goes on.

The speed and close control Arnaut has are getting him past defenders and his desire to get the goals are probably what has been missing in other Bournemouth strikers, who are not so intent on getting the goals themselves. His directness blends well with Solanke who is perhaps excellent at making assists and setting up others, even when he could shoot more often. But Solanke is upping his shot count, and it bodes very well if Danjuma and Solanke can get a really good understanding going.
