Ange Postecoglou delivers Kevin Danso signing verdict as Tottenham win 2-0 vs Brentford
Tottenham Hotspur have made their second signing of the winter transfer window by bringing in Kevin Danso on loan from RC Lens.
Danso expressed his desire to win trophies in a Spurs shirt immediately after heading to N17.
Ange Postecoglou will certainly be delighted by the Austrian’s seeming winning mentality as he aims to break the Lilywhites’ almost 17-year duck without having won a single piece of silverware.
Kevin Danso, 26 has plenty of experience under his belt and having made his way to the Premier League, the seasoned centre-back would be hoping to take his career to the next level.
Ange Postecoglou says Kevin Danso loan move to Tottenham is “brilliant”
The atmosphere surrounding Spurs has become far more positive than it has been in recent weeks following Danso’s arrival and their surprise 2-0 win against Brentford.
Postecoglou, whose job is safe at Tottenham for the time being will be hoping that his side continue to keep marching in the right direction in the coming weeks.
Ange Postecoglou certainly feels Danso, for whom Tottenham hijacked Wolves’ move is a quality signing for Spurs.
Postecoglou said via journalist Tom Barclay: “Brilliant [to get him]. I think Kevin will be a great fit for us. We’re a little bit short at the back, have been for a while and he’s just really experienced, a good one-on-one defender.”
“I’ve said before that getting new players in gives us energy and will give the group energy. I’m looking forward to him being part of the group.”
Danso previously admitted Arsenal were his dream club but that would have changed the minute Tottenham tried to sign him. Danso is considered a top centre-half and considering how leaky Spurs habe been at the back this season, his presence should add solidity to the side.
Why Tottenham were initially “put off” by Kevin Danso transfer
Tottenham were “put off” by Danso’s signing initially but as soon as the asking price decreased, they decided to make a move for him.
“They were put off by the original €30m+ (£24.9 million) price tag. Then when Wolves agreed a loan, they first called to say they would match it knowing the player was keen. And finally got a deal for €25 million (£20.8 million). Late window price drop made the difference to the final formula.”
Cristian Romero remains injured and with Micky van de Ven easing into proceedings after his own fitness issues, Danso could help them remain stable at the back.
Furthermore, Radu Dragusin’s knee injury could be serious as well.
With that being the case, Tottenham perhaps made the right call by pouncing at the chance to secure Danso’s services, who already seems to have a fan of his in Ange Postecoglou.
