Tottenham secures Kevin Danso deal from Wolves for €25m

Tottenham Hotspur have successfully hijacked Wolverhampton Wanderers' move for Lens defender Kevin Danso, who was initially set to undergo a medical with Wolves. Spurs have agreed to a permanent deal valued at approximately £20 million, with Danso poised to sign a five-and-a-half year contract. The move comes as Tottenham faces a significant injury crisis, having dropped to 16th in the Premier League standings, necessitating urgent reinforcements, particularly in defense. Danso, who has made 12 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, is expected to bolster a squad missing key players like Radu Dragusin due to injury. This transfer follows Spurs' struggles in the market, with earlier pursuits for other defenders proving unfruitful. The signing aims to satisfy manager Ange Postecoglou's demands for new outfield signings ahead of the transfer deadline.
