It seems that Kevin Danso is causing quite a stir in the football world. The Lens centre-back has been in high demand, with both Wolves and Tottenham vying for his signature. However, it seems that Danso has made his decision and it's not what many were expecting.
Despite Wolves reaching an agreement with Lens for Danso to join them on loan, Tottenham swooped in with a tempting offer, successfully hijacking the deal. This news came as a surprise to many, especially since it was believed that Danso was set to undergo a medical with Wolves on Sunday.
But alas, things took an unexpected turn when the 26-year-old suddenly pulled out of the medical, leaving the door open for Tottenham to make their move. And make their move, they did. The London club has now reached an agreement with Lens to sign Danso for a transfer fee of €25 million. Personal terms have also been agreed upon, making this a done deal.
It's been quite a journey for Danso, who had previously come close to leaving Lens last summer. A failed medical with Roma put a halt to his exit, but now he finally has the opportunity to make a move. This season, he has started 12 games in Ligue 1, but has been absent from the last three matches, including their recent 2-0 win over Montpellier.
It's no secret that Tottenham has been on the lookout for a new central defender, and they've been working tirelessly to secure one before the January transfer window closes on Monday. They had initially agreed to a €30 million deal with AC Milan for Fikayo Tomori, but the former Chelsea player turned down the move to join Ange Postecoglou's side.
And now, they have also been rejected by Mathys Tel, despite agreeing to a whopping €60 million deal with Bayern Munich just days ago. It's clear that Tottenham is determined to strengthen their defense, but it seems that fate has other plans for them. Only time will tell if they will be able to successfully secure a new defender before the transfer window closes.
