According to numerous reports, Tottenham has interfered with Everton’s efforts to sign Arnaut Danjuma on a loan deal till the end of the season.
Earlier this month, the Villarreal winger traveled to the UK to meet with the Toffees and finalize a transfer to Goodison Park.
However, it now appears that he will be playing his football in north London for the remainder of the campaign after Tottenham reportedly hijacked Everton’s approach, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic columnist David Ornstein.

Romano claims that Everton even had the “medical and media done” in preparation of an announcement but now the former Bournemouth winger is travelling to London for another medical.
The transfer expert tweeted: “Tottenham are trying to hijack Danjuma deal. Villarreal star had an agreement in place with Everton and medical tests done and Sunday, just waiting to sign official documents. Decision soon as Spurs are trying to enter the race just before the final formal steps.
Before adding another tweet, Romano wrote: “Tottenham have offered loan deal for Danjuma, also discussing buy option clause — Spurs feel they can get it done and hijack the deal after Everton agreement. Danjuma, travelling to London — after medical and media done with Everton on Saturday/Sunday.”
Romano later gave the deal his classic ‘here we go’ confirmation and declared the ‘hijack completed’.
