Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the acquisition of central defender Kevin Danso from French club RC Lens, as they seek to reinforce their defensive options following the recent injury to Radu Dragusin. The Romanian defender’s knee problem has further compounded an already challenging situation for the North London club, prompting swift action in the transfer market. Danso, who had previously been linked with a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers, will now join manager Ange Postecoglou’s squad as they aim to recover from their struggles and strengthen their push for a successful campaign.
The Austrian international becomes the second signing of the winter transfer window for Tottenham, following the arrival of Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. Kinsky completed his transfer from Slavia Prague on January 5, bolstering the club’s goalkeeping options.
In an official statement released on the club’s website, Tottenham confirmed the signing, stating, “We are delighted to announce the signing of Kevin Danso on loan from Ligue 1 side RC Lens, subject to international clearance and work permit. The Austrian international defender will join the club on loan until the end of the season, with an obligation to make the deal permanent in the summer. He will wear the number four shirt.”
Ange Postecoglou has faced significant challenges in his second season in charge at Tottenham, with a persistent injury crisis hampering the team’s performances, particularly in defense. The recent injury to Dragusin has further depleted their options, leaving the club with little choice but to enter the transfer market for reinforcements. Initial reports suggest that Dragusin could be sidelined for the remainder of the season, which likely influenced Tottenham’s urgency in securing Danso’s services.
Additionally, the club has been linked with Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, indicating that further defensive reinforcements could still be considered before the conclusion of the transfer window. Tottenham’s acquisition of Danso underscores their commitment to addressing their squad’s deficiencies and ensuring they remain competitive in the second half of the season.
