They say that a week is a long time in football. Rewind the clock back seven days and Arnaut Danjuma was on course to depart Villarreal to sign a loan deal with Premier League strugglers Everton.
One week on and the Netherlands international is now off the mark in a Tottenham shirt after a dramatic transfer U-turn. With his move to Everton practically there with his medical and media duties reportedly completed, Tuesday saw Danjuma make his way to Hotspur Way after Spurs had made a very late move for his signature.
The opportunity to compete towards the top of the Premier League and also play in the Champions League was something he simply could not turn down. Taking his place in the Tottenham squad for the first time at Preston North End, Antonio Conte elected against handing his new man an immediate start as he went with a front three of Son Heung-min, Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski.
