‘Wait for his time’ – Stellini addresses Danjuma’s shocking lack of minutes at Spurs

Cristian Stellini has insisted that Arnaut Danjuma needs to wait for his opportunities at Tottenham, despite the alarming lack of minutes for the Netherlands international since joining. 

Spurs signed Danjuma on loan from Villarreal in the January transfer window, but the forward has only played 11 Premier League minutes in the past few months (TransferMarkt).

During his final few weeks in charge, Antonio Conte rarely turned to his bench with any meaningful time left on the clock and when he did he opted for Lucas Moura over Danjuma.

Stellini followed in his predecessor’s footsteps yesterday when Moura was called to the pitch once more, only to see red six minutes later and leave Tottenham with ten men.

Asked about Danjuma’s lack of game time since coming to North London, Stellini was keen to point out that the problem is more than just one man.

He added that he is happy with Danjuma in training, but the forward must wait for chances in the front three.

He said (Football London): “Danjuma is one player. We obviously have three important players up front and today we used Lucas and then when we had 10 players after the red card we couldn’t change.

“Danjuma is a good player, his effort is fine. We are happy with him. He just needs to wait for his time because in our squad it’s not easy to play in the front three.

“It’s not easy for him. We understand him but we are happy.”

Spurs Web Opinion:

I bet Danjuma wishes he went to Everton now. He would be playing meaningful games and trying to keep the Toffees away from relegation, instead of twiddling his thumbs on the Spurs bench and watching the same players make the same old mistakes.
