Tottenham have completed the loan signing of Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma just days after he nearly joined Everton.

Arnaut Danjuma has now completed a loan move to Tottenham that will run until the end of the current season after completing a medical on Tuesday.

The deal for Danjuma is an initial loan for the rest of the season but an option to buy could be discussed at end of the campaign. Danjuma will be able to play in the Champions League. 

Spurs face AC Milan in the last 16, with the first of two legs taking place on February 14.

The move to north London comes as something of a surprise, with the forward thought to have already agreed a move to Everton.

The Toffees were expecting Danjuma to complete the final formalities of his deal on Tuesday after agreeing to join their relegation fight. However, a late u-turn saw Tottenham enter the mix and ended up heading to the north Londoners.

Danjuma has experience of English football as he moved to Bournemouth in 2019 and went on to score 17 goals in 52 appearances for the Cherries as they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League.

He then joined Villarreal for £21.3million in 2021 and got off to an electric start with 16 goals and four assists in 34 games, before bagging six in 17 this term.
