Arnaut Danjuma Everton transfer hijack hands Antonio Conte big Tottenham Champions League boost

In three weeks' time, Antonio Conte and his Tottenham team will step out at the San Siro as the Champions League knockout phase commences. Having progressed from Group D after a crazy night in Marseille at the beginning of November, Spurs' reward for topping their group is a Round of 16 clash against AC Milan.

Their visit to the Italian city will bring about many happy memories for Tottenham fans following their triumph against the Rossoneri in the same round of the competition back in 2011. Managing to defeat AC Milan over two legs 12 years ago, all will be hoping history repeats itself this time around as Spurs look to go far in the Champions League after such a mixed campaign to date.

The fixture could potentially see Arnaut Danjuma make his European debut for the Lilywhites after the north London club hijacked the Dutch international's loan move to Everton. On course to join the Toffees on a temporary deal until the end of the campaign with his medical, media and agreements all reportedly complete, the player has made a dramatic U-turn and is now set to boost Conte's forward line instead.
