The transfer window isn’t even open yet and Tottenham Hotspur have already made their first confirmed transfer. Kind of. In a way. According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have confirmed the €25m purchase of Kevin Danso from Lens, fulfilling his purchase obligation after he was signed on loan last season.
So no big surprise since this was going to happen anyway. The club hasn’t confirmed it yet, and they might not since this was more or less a forgone conclusion and they sometimes don’t in these circumstances, but Danso is now a permanent member of the squad.
I’ve been quite pleased with Danso since his arrival. He’s been a steady presence at the back when called upon, to the point that if Cuti Romero were to ever leave the club or get injured or whatever, I’d have few concerns about Danso stepping into that RCB role. He’s a solid backup and rotation option, exactly the kind of player we need MORE of as Spurs gear up for a Champions League campaign next season.
So hooray for successfully fulfilling our contractual obligations! Well done lads, good process (complimentary).
