Tottenham patched the defensive hole with a "bargain" of 25 million euros
In an effort to make a strong comeback in phase 2 of the 2024/25 season, Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign centre-back Kevin Danso from Lens for a fee of 25 million euros.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the London club. Danso was close to joining Wolves but changed his mind due to Tottenham's determination, especially when the club is in a crisis due to too many injuries.
The arrival of Danso is seen as a necessary solution for Tottenham's troubled defense, especially when coach Postecoglou is forced to look for additions amid a lack of quality options in the transfer market. Kevin Danso has experience playing in the Premier League with Southampton in the 2019/20 season, and has also shown progress at Lens over the years, playing a total of 128 matches, being included in the Ligue 1 squad of the season 2022/23. Before acquiring Danso, Tottenham had failed to recruit young striker Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, a big regret for the London team.
Despite the timely additions to the defence, Tottenham are facing a poor run of form in the Premier League, winning just one of their last 11 games, leaving them in 16th place and increasingly under criticism. With the pressure mounting, Postecoglou needs to get the team back on track quickly, or he could leave the hot seat at any moment. Danso's arrival is essential, but he alone is not enough; it's the improvement of the whole team.
