      Danjuma was expected to sign for Everton, but Tottenham swooped in to hijack the deal in the final moments.
      The Toffees, who sacked Frank Lampard on Monday after eight defeats in nine, thought they had clinched the loan signing from Villarreal.
      Danjuma, 25, had already had a medical on Merseyside at the weekend.
      However, with the paperwork yet to be signed off, Spurs sneaked in at the 11th hour.

      Danjuma travelled down on Tuesday to have his Tottenham medical.
      Tottenham released a statement confirming the signing saying: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Arnaut Danjuma on loan from Villarreal until the end of the 2022/23 season, subject to international clearance.”
      Last season Danjuma was a regular starter with the Yellow Submarine in their run to the Champions League semi-finals.
      He netted six goals in 11 appearances in Europe while also scoring a further ten goals in 23 La Liga matches.

      This season he has already notched six goals in 17 matches in all competitions.
      Tottenham’s transfer business is not over, though as they are also confident of signing Sporting Lisbon full-back Pedro Porro.
      SunSport understands that following talks between both clubs over the past two days, an agreement is close to being reached to meet that figure this window.
      The 23-year-old has a £40million release clause in his contract with the Portuguese side. More

      The Magpies are believed to have “opened talks” with Everton, and there is a deal to be done this month, according to the Daily Mail.
      The report claims that a financial package of £25million with £15m in add-ons could lead to a transfer.
      Although it is thought that Everton are aiming for a fee in the region of £60m.
      It is not thought that the Magpies would be willing to pay that much for the forward, who has scored three goals in 16 Premier League appearances this season.

      He impressed last campaign as his four goals and two assists in 35 appearances helped the club escape relegation.
      The report also suggests that Eddie Howe’s side would be willing to loan him back to Goodison Park for the remainder of the season.
      This could be a big boost for the Toffees as Gordon could help them in their battle to beat the drop, with the club currently sitting 19th in the Premier League table.
      The Magpies have lost striker Chris Wood this month after he joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the season.

      Danjuma was believed to have undergone a medical with the Goodison Park side at the weekend.
      But with the paperwork yet to be signed off, Spurs have made an approach at the 11th hour to steal the winger on loan from under Everton’s noses.

      Danjuma has Premier League experience having joined Bournemouth the summer preceding the season the Cherries were relegated to the Championship.
      He excelled in the second tier, netting 15 goals in 33 league appearances, which landed him a switch to Villarreal in January 2021.

      He hit ten La Liga goals last term but fell down the pecking order this season at the Yellow Submarine, who are willing to farm him out.
      Lagos-born Danjuma, who has six goals and two goals for the Netherlands, revealed to SunSport in 2020 how he was mistakenly arrested on suspicion of attempted murder while walking through Bournemouth city centre in March of that year.
      Should Spurs snatch Danjuma from under Everton’s nose, it’ll be another blow for the Toffees, who are on the search for a new manager.

      He led Villarreal to three successive European finishes during his three years at the helm until 2016.

      And the disappointing 2-0 defeat to relegation rivals 3-2 defeat to relegation rivals West Ham on Saturday proved to be the last straw.
      The Telegraph is reporting that majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri ‘held talks held talks with the club’s board over Lampard’s future’, where the decision was made to swing the ace.
      Former Burnley boss Sean Dyche and ex-Leeds gaffer Marcelo Bielsa are the two favourites to succeed the Chelsea legend.
      Everton legend Wayne Rooney and former chief David Moyes, currently at West Ham, are also in the running.
      Defeat to the Hammers has left the Toffees rock bottom of the Premier League table – although they’re two points away from safety.
      After the match, a dejected Lampard said of his future: “Those things are not my choice, it is my job to work, focus and keep my head down.
      “I have confidence in how I want to coach. There’s difficult conditions that I am aware of.

      It has also been reported that Lampard has been involved in a bust-up with some of his own players.
      Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has been forced to train on his own as a result.
      Lampard’s tenure on Merseyside began brightly as they romped to a 4-1 FA Cup win over Brentford.
      That was followed by a 3-1 loss at Newcastle but they bounced back with a 3-0 home win over Leeds.
      But three consecutive Premier League defeats followed, with an FA Cup win over Boreham Wood sandwiched in between, before they were hammered 5-0 at Tottenham in the top-flight.
      A loss to Wolves at Goodison stretched their losing run in the Prem to five matches before a 1-0 triumph over Newcastle on home turf provided some brief respite.
      Despite his best efforts, Lampard has failed to unstick the struggling Toffees.
      Defeat at the London Stadium has left the Merseysiders with a record of just one win in their last 12 league matches.
      Everton registered a mere 15 points out of a possible 60 this season.

      And the following week, they’ll travel across Stanley Park to face bitter rivals Liverpool in what will no doubt be another fiery affair.

      The writing was seemingly on the wall for Lampard when he got the dreaded public vote of confidence from owner Farhad Moshiri earlier this month.
      The British-Iranian businessman said: “I have faith in the work being done not only by our manager, but our director of football [Kevin Thelwell] and our board of directors.
      “That faith is based on my knowledge of the depth and quality of work being done both at Finch Farm [Everton’s training complex] and the Royal Liver Building [Everton’s administrative HQ) – and of the plan that is in place.
      “I am confident that we have skilled, experienced and focused professionals at all levels of the club.
      “We are all agreed that our current league position must and will improve.”
      He added: “In almost seven years since my arrival at the club, I have significantly increased my investment and our new stadium has become reality.

      Frank Lampard’s men are on a nine-game streak without a win, with their latest defeat coming on Saturday against relegation rivals West Ham.

      He also took his speed and skills to the Qatar World Cup in the latest part of his fairytale career.
      Now Toffees chiefs want Ndiaye to join their attack for the relegation fight and are putting together the funds to buy him.
      Ndiaye, 22, is central to the Blades’ bid to get back to the top flight but his contract is up after next season.
      Boss Paul Heckingbottom will be anxious as Ndiaye would be a huge loss and there are doubts about how much of the sale he would get to spend.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Blades are now under a transfer embargo for failing to keep up with old payments, so a sale would go into sorting that out.
      Everton would be a large lure for Ndiaye with a Prem contract to offer to a player who was with Boreham Wood for three seasons.
      Owner Farhad Moshiri is reacting to fan fury over their recent struggles.
      Ndiaye would be a good addition if he can take his form to the top level with the Toffees.

      Everton are also closing in on a deal for Arnaut Danjuma, 25, at Villarreal.
      They are willing to pay the Spanish club a huge loan fee of £2.5m, which could double if the former Bournemouth star plays enough games.
      Danjuma will net £100,000 a week and a deal for the Dutchman could see Anthony Gordon being sold to Newcastle or even Tottenham.
      It’s unclear who will be at the Everton helm come the end of the month as manager Frank Lampard is under a huge amount of pressure.

      He has bagged 22 goals in 51 appearances for the Yellow Submarine, also getting a taste of Champions League football last term.
      Having started the season with an injury, however, he has been more out of favour this time around – starting just six LaLiga games.
      Newcastle are set to enquire regarding Anthony Gordon’s availability.
      Everton were determined to keep the 21-year-old last summer, fending off bids by Chelsea and Tottenham.
      But with the youngster having fallen out of favour of late, their stance may now have changed.
      The Toffees were demanding a fee in excess of £50m for Gordon when Chelsea and Spurs came calling.
