What Arnaut Danjuma Tottenham transfer now means for Antonio Conte's Champions League squad

Tottenham look set to seal their first signing of the January transfer window with Arnaut Danjuma expected to sign on the dotted line in N17. Appearing on course to link up with Everton on a loan deal until the end of the campaign with his medical, media and agreements all reportedly complete, Spurs have come from nowhere to entice the Dutch international to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The arrival of the talented 25-year-old will boost Antonio Conte's options going into the second half of the season, with Danjuma able to play from either the left flank or up front as a striker or support striker. The Netherlands international will also add some Champions League experience to the Spurs squad after netting six goals in the competition for Villarreal last season.

Having scored four goals in the group stage, Danjuma then contributed when it mattered most as he scored important goals against Juventus and Bayern Munich in the knockout phase as the Spanish side progressed through to the final four of the competition. Providing of course that Tottenham do complete a deal for the Lagos-born player as expected, that means he will be able to feature for Spurs in the next phase of the Champions League as they can make amendments to their squad.
