The 26-year-old sealed his switch to North London in quite dramatic circumstances, with the Lilywhites stealing him from under Everton’s nose after he had already completed a medical at Goodison Park (Daily Mail).
However, the Dutch international found opportunities hard to come by during his five-month stint at the club, making just one Premier League start, which came under Ryan Mason in the 3-1 loss to Brenfrod in May.
Unsurprisingly, Spurs decided against activating the option to buy Danjuma permanently, with the forward now set to return to Villarreal before finding out what the future holds for him this summer.
Danjuma sends thank you message to Spurs fans
Despite the fact that he did not get too many opportunities to showcase his qualities, the Dutchman insisted that he thoroughly enjoyed his time in N17, admitting that he had never experienced fan support to the degree he did at Spurs.
When asked about his time at Tottenham, Danjuma said on Freshly Grounded podcast: “It was very nice, to say the least.
“From the minute I got there my teammates were very welcoming and the staff were very welcoming.
“The culture seemed very nice from the beginning until the end. The biggest compliment and appreciation I can have is towards the fans, to be honest with you.
“From the moment I arrived, I really felt like they tried to have my back. It was lovely to experience and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like that on that scale, because the fans from Tottenham are very involved in the club.
“You can feel when you’re in the stadium, when you’re out of the stadium when you go for a walk or whatever.
“You’ll always have a Tottenham fan coming up to you and there are so many Tottenham fans so you will always come across someone.
“So the experience for me was definitely very appreciative and especially towards the fans because they really had my back from the beginning.
“On social media as well, I’ve seen a couple of things and how supportive they’ve been towards me. I wouldn’t have a bad word at all, to be honest with you.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Danjuma comes across as an extremely professional and thoroughly decent person.
It could have been quite easy for him to sulk and become detached, given the circumstances he was in at Tottenham, with Conte even publicly admitting that he does not fit his preferred style of play.
However, instead, the 25-year-old always gave his 100 per cent every single time he was called upon and seems to have nothing but good things to say about the club.
