In Last Minute Manoeuvering, Everton-bound Arnaut Danjuma Joins Tottenham

Arnaut Danjuma has been confirmed as a Tottenham Hotspur player just few moments after he had agreed a deal and passed a medical at Merseyside with Everton.

Danjuma joins Spurs on loan from Villarreal, marking their first signing of the January window, a deal hijacked by the North London club in a last-minute swoop.

The Netherlands international, who was not selected for the World Cup in Qatar, underwent a medical yesterday and will replace Lucas Moura in Conte’s squad.

The 25-year-old agreed a move that will see him spend the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign with Antonio Conte’s side.

Danjuma also confirmed his arrival at Spurs on social media with a tweet showing three pictures of him completing his move and tagging it with the club’s motto, saying: ‘To dare is to do. Let’s get to work.

Tottenham are also holding a crucial round of talks over a move for Sporting right wing-back Pedro Porro.

Spurs hope to close a deal for the 25-year-old, but Sporting are holding out for his £39.5million release clause.
