Arnaut Danjuma: Plot twist as Villarreal forward spurns Everton and heads for Tottenham medical - report

Arnaut Danjuma appears to have ditched a loan move to Everton in favour of a switch to Tottenham, with the north London club having joined the race at the eleventh hour. Danjuma, who has scored 22 goals in 51 games for Villarreal, completed a medical with the Toffees at the weekend, but is now expected to swerve a relegation battle and link up with Antonio Conte’s Spurs.

Tottenham have hijacked Everton’s move for Arnaut Danjuma, with the Villarreal forward reportedly travelling to north London to discuss a potential move.

Danjuma had completed a medical with the Toffees on Saturday ahead of a proposed loan move to the Premier League strugglers, but Tottenham’s late interest has sparked a dramatic U-turn from the 25-year-old.

The Athletic report that Danjuma, a six-cap Netherlands international, will now have a medical ahead of a loan move until the end of the season.
