Kevin Danso has sent a cold message to Arsenal fans after Tottenham Hotspur’s recent Europa League triumph in Spain at the San Mames Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur are champions of Europe, but the same cannot be said about their bitter rivals Arsenal, who have never sung that.
To be clear, this is the third time in Spurs’ history that they have won the Europa League, with their latest triumph ending a 17-year wait for silverware.
Ahead of Tottenham’s Europa League final clash against Manchester United, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta took a slight dig at both Spurs and the Red Devils, suggesting that the two sides crumbled when they had key injuries, and praising his side for maintaining “their levels” throughout the campaign.
Kevin Danso hits back at Arsenal fans after Tottenham win Europa League
Arsenal have gone trophyless once more this season, while an injury-ravaged Tottenham Hotspur continue to celebrate their historic European triumph.
Following Spurs’ 1-0 victory at the San Mames Stadium, where they edged past Manchester United, winter signing Kevin Danso was asked if he had any message for the Arsenal supporters.
The Tottenham defender did not mince his words, firmly reminding everyone of the moment. He made it abundantly clear that he is now a European winner with Spurs and that what happens across north London does not bother him in the slightest.

He told Hayters: “To be honest, I could not care less what they do. I am at Tottenham Hotspur, we just won the Europa League.“
Spurs success brings renewed debate over Arsenal’s progress
Arsenal continue to build, but tangible success remains elusive, despite the occasional Community Shield to show for their efforts.
The debate over who has enjoyed the better campaign between Tottenham Hotspur and the Gunners has resurfaced in recent weeks, especially with Arsenal set to finish second in the Premier League and Spurs lifting European silverware.
Former Tottenham and Arsenal defender William Gallas also waded into the discussion, and his comments are unlikely to please Arsenal fans.
He said: “As a player, I would rather finish 17th and win a trophy than second with no trophy. That also means you can get back into the Champions League next season.”
