He told GIVEMESPORT: “They’ve got Danjuma on their radar. He’s a good player, but I don’t believe that he’s going to increase the ceiling of what this Tottenham team can achieve, so I think this is one they will wait and see on.”

As a result, Danjuma was his side’s third-worst starting player on the day, scoring 5.76, with only
