Tottenham reject Danso loan to Sunderland
Tottenham turned down Sunderland’s season-long loan bid for defender Kevin Danso, BBC Sport reports.
Tottenham Hotspur have rejected Sunderland’s offer of a season-long loan for defender Kevin Danso, according to BBC Sport.
The report says Danso did get on the pitch to start the season, featuring as a second-half substitute in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win over Charlton. However, first-team opportunities are expected to be limited this campaign.
Competition in central defence
That’s due to Tottenham’s defensive options: they’ve added Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke, while Micky van de Ven has signed a new deal and was named captain.
BBC Sport adds that it remains to be seen whether Sunderland continue to pursue the 27-year-old after Danso has made 37 appearances for Spurs.
Signed then made permanent
The same source also notes Danso was initially signed on loan from Lens in January 2025, before the move became permanent later that year, with Tottenham paying £20.9m.
