Report: Spurs to miss out on Ajax striker to Eredivisie club

Tottenham will not be bringing Ajax striker Danilo Pereira da Silva to North London with the youngster reportedly having agreed to a loan deal with FC Twente.

According to Tubantia, the Brazilian will now be staying in Holland after agreeing to join fellow Eredivisie side on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old has made three senior appearances Dutch giants (Transfermarkt).

Spurs were linked with the striker earlier this month by CalcioNapoli24 with just £5million said to have been good enough to secure his services.

However, the youngster will not join a long list of players to leave Ajax for Spurs as he reportedly believes life under Jose Mourinho will not benefit his development.

Spurs Web Opinion

With only a handful of senior appearances under his belt, it probably is not the right move for either party. We need a striker who will be able to act as back-up to Harry Kane but who also has the experience to come on and make a difference.
