Bournemouth attacking midfielder Arnaut Danjuma has taken to Twitter to clear things up after granting an interview where he had appeared to send a come-and-get-me-plea to Leeds United.

“Leeds is a bigger institution than Bournemouth,” the 24-year-old had told Voetbal International when asked what he thought about joining the Elland Road outfit.

“It has a very nice history, and they play Premier League.”

“And I don’t think I can play another Championship season – I’ve outgrown the competition a bit. Leeds United would be a nice step.”

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Danjuma’s comments to the Dutch magazine “will cause a stir in both West Yorkshire and on the south coast”, and the Nigerian-born winger has now reacted on social media.

Seen a few quotes, just to be clear I was put on the spot about a club in an interview and I was only trying to be respectful about them as I would any club, no way in a thousand years would I mean to be disrespectful about my club who has served me well for 2 seasons
