Tottenham strengthened its attacking options for the second half of the season by signing Dutch forward Arnaut Danjuma on loan from Villarreal on Wednesday.

Danjuma joined Tottenham until the end of the season and will start his second stint in English soccer, having played for Bournemouth from 2019-21.

He had been expected to join Everton and reportedly had a medical examination there before Tottenham made its move for a player who will provide competition for Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Lucas Moura.

Tottenham is in fifth place in the Premier League, three points off the top four, and still in the FA Cup and Champions League.

Danjuma played a key role in Villarreal's unlikely run to the Champions League semifinals last season, when he scored 16 goals in all competitions for the Spanish team.

He hasn't been first choice for Villarreal this season.

Tottenham said the transfer of Danjuma, who has played six games for the Netherlands, is subject to international clearance.

Manchester United are better with Marcus Rashford, coach Ruben Amorim said on Wednesday, after the forward said he was ready for a new challenge when asked about his future at the Old Trafford club.

The 27-year-old England international was left out of United's squad for Sunday's derby against Manchester City which they went on to win 2-1 in dramatic fashion at the Etihad Stadium.

Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, 20, was also not part of the squad for the Premier League clash, with new boss Amorim later saying his decisions were all about holding his players to high standards, Reuters reported.

"I don't talk about the future, we talk about the present," Amorim told reporters ahead of Thursday's League Cup quarter-final trip to Tottenham Hotspur.

"We are better with Marcus Rashford. This kind of club needs big talents – and he is a big talent.

"We have one more training session and they (Rashford and Garnacho) are in the same situation as the other players. If they train well, we have to make a choice."

Capped 60 times for England, Rashford has been at United since the age of seven, scoring 138 goals in 426 appearances since making his senior debut for the club in 2016.

Having won the Europa League, two FA Cups and the League Cup twice during his time at United, Rashford signed a new five-year contract last year but has been linked with a move away from the club.

He spoke on the subject on Tuesday while visiting his old school to hand out Christmas presents, saying he was ready for the next steps.

"What I want is to take the best of Marcus Rashford... I want the best from each one of them. I just want to win and help the team be better," Amorim said.

"We are better with Marcus Rashford and it's that simple. We will try different things to push Rashford to the best levels that he has shown me in the past."
