Arnaut Danjuma Tottenham transfer fate could rest on Antonio Conte unleashing new partnership

Tottenham great Glenn Hoddle believes new signing Arnaut Danjuma could flourish once he is in the same team as Harry Kane. Making his Spurs bow in last month's 3-0 FA Cup fourth round win over Championship side Preston North End, the Netherlands international marked his debut with the final goal of the contest as he netted from close range in the dying minutes.

An unused substitute in the home win over Man City before getting 11 minutes in last weekend's 4-1 defeat at Leicester City, Danjuma will be hoping his minutes increase over the coming weeks with some important games on the agenda. Joining the club on a loan deal from Villarreal at the end of the January transfer window, the Lagos-born star's long-term future could well rest on how he fares over the next few months with Tottenham having the option in their agreement to purchase him at the end of the season.

Having watched the ex-Bournemouth man against Preston and spotted a number of positive runs that weren't picked out by some of his new teammates, Hoddle feels that Kane's creativity and eye for a pass could suit Danjuma down to the ground.
