Tottenham have completed the loan signing of Villarreal
just days after he nearly joined Everton.
The 25-year-old becomes their first signing of the January transfer window, Danjuma
played for Bournemouth from 2019 to 2021, scoring 17 goals in 52 games before
moving to La Liga.
He has six caps, scoring two goals, but did not make the Netherlands squad for the
2022 World Cup.
Danjuma played a key role in Villarreal’s run to the Champions League semi-finals
last season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions for the Spanish club.
He appeared to have agreed terms with Everton over the weekend, but before he
could sign his contract Tottenham made their move.
“As soon as Tottenham came through for me, it was a no-brainer,” Danjuma told Spurs
TV.

“It’s a massive club, brilliant coach, brilliant staff, brilliant club, the facilities are
obviously unbelievable so for me I’m very excited to be part of the team.”
His arrival adds to Spurs’ attacking options alongside Harry Kane, Son Heung-min,
Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Lucas Moura.
Antonio Conte’s side are fifth in the Premier League and moved within three points of
the top four with a 1-0 win at Fulham on Monday.
