Caretaker manager Cristian Stellini admits “it’s not easy” for Arnaut Danjuma at Tottenham Hotspur after the striker who chose the Londoners over Everton after an 11th hour change of heart in January was kept on the bench again in the sides’ 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
The Dutch international was all set to become the Blues’ first signing of 2023 before Spurs hijacked his loan move from Villarreal, ensuring director of football Kevin Thelwell failed to bring any new faces through the door in the winter window. Since returning to England, the former Bournemouth man has played just 11 minutes of Premier League football for Tottenham so far and was spared what surely would have been a barracking from the home crowd here as he was again left on the bench.
Stellini, taking control of Spurs for the first time since his former boss Antonio Conte’s exit, said: “Danjuma is one player, obviously we have three important players in our front. Today we used Lucas and then when we had 10 players after the red card, we cannot change.
