Arnaut Danjuma has stated that "without question" he would turn back the clock in order to demonstrate his ability to influence games and make a big impact for Tottenham. Making a transfer U-turn late in the January transfer window when a loan move to Everton was on the verge of completion, the attacker instead headed to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after departing Villarreal.
Giving Antonio Conte's side another attacking option in their quest to finish the season strongly and confirm another top-four finish, Danjuma made the best possible start to his Spurs loan spell with a goal in their FA Cup win over Preston North End. However, that proved to be one of only a couple of highlights for the player in north London with extremely limited minutes coming his way.
Not given a chance in the team by Conte despite some of his fellow attackers struggling, the ex-Bournemouth man's game time did pick up under Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason. An unused substitute in Sunday's 4-1 win at Leeds United as the 2022/23 Premier League season came to an end, the 26-year-old has reflected on his short stay at Spurs with an honest message to Tottenham supporters.

"To Spurs fans, it is very difficult to sum up the season we've all had in words," penned the Netherlands international on his social media accounts. "Many highs and lows, yet I tried to give my all, anytime, at any moment for you all.
"An indifferent return to the Premier League for me. I'd be lying if I wasn't disappointed with how the season ended for the club, the fans and me. I have proven and I know I have the ability to influence games and make a big impact, and if I could turn back the clocks and be given a chance to demonstrate that I would without question.
"Putting the frustration aside, I am very conscious of the welcome I have received by first and foremost the fans, whose continuous support towards me has truly amazed me. Likewise, the welcoming from the club, players and staff has been a heart-warming pleasure to say the least.
"What is tomorrow worth, if it is the same as today? It is only through the hardships in life, we will be able to find ease. Thus, this is not a goodbye message. Never. The journey shared will live on in my mind, body and heart forever.
"This is to every fan who chanted my name, for every person who clapped their hands for me, for every kid who ran up to me for an autograph, THANK YOU. Until we meet again, in sha Allāh."
