Tottenham Hotspur are attempting to make an audacious late attempt to hijack Everton’s move for Arnaud Danjuma.
The Blues – who want to bring in two attacking reinforcements this month – are hoping to make the Dutch international their first signing of the January transfer window but their plans could now be scuppered by the Londoners muscling in on their deal.
The ECHO understands that on Monday, Danjuma’s loan move from Villarreal to Everton looked close with the forward having undertaken a medical. But contrary to some reports, paperwork was not completed - and Spurs have now offered the 25-year-old the opportunity to join them with the player travelling to London to discuss a potential switch.
