Everton FARCE as Marcelo Bielsa gets cold feet over the team’s lack of pace while Spurs hijack Arnaut Danjuma deal… with Sam Allardyce in the running for a return to Goodison Park if Argentine turns down job

Marcelo Bielsa has major doubts over replacing Frank Lampard at Everton amid concerns that the squad will struggle to adapt to his high-octane style.

On a farcical day at Everton, Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma agreed to join them, had a medical, posed for photos and was interviewed by club media — then opted to join Tottenham.

Former Leeds boss Bielsa, 67, is Everton’s No 1 choice to replace Lampard, who lost his job following a run of six defeats in seven Premier League matches that has left the club 19th in the table, after their worst start to a league season.
