Arnaut Danjuma is set to sign for Tottenham on loan after they hijacked his move from Villarreal to Everton, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
Forward Danjuma, 25, had agreed a switch to Goodison Park — even undergoing a medical — before Spurs moved to convince the player to change his plans and move to North London.

The winger will now join Tottenham on loan until June 30, sources said. Villarreal are hopeful that he will play regularly and increase his market value ahead of a potential permanent transfer this summer.
Everton’s 2-0 Premier League loss to West Ham on Saturday, Frank Lampard’s subsequent firing and the club’s unsettled situation had put Danjuma off going there, sources said.
