Tottenham now set to sign £21m player at last minute with Premier League club furious

TBR Football understand Tottenham are now set to sign Kevin Danso from RC Lens – leaving Premier League rivals Wolves furious.

Spurs look set to be busy as we approach Monday night’s transfer deadline, with a central defender wanted by Ange Postecoglou after Radu Dragusin suffered a serious knee injury൩ in the 3-0 UEFA Europa League win over Elfsborg on Thursday.

🧸Tottenham have made an approach to sign Axel Disasi from Chelsea to cover for the Romania international, as Spurs aim to rise away from 16th in the Premier League.

Now – however – sources have confirmed to TBR Football that Tottenham are close to signing Kevin Danso from RC Lens, a development which has left Wolves seething.

🀅We understand Danso will join the north Londoners in a £21m permanent switch from the Ligue 1 outfit – in a move which will go some way to helping Tottenham’s lack of depth in defence.

Sources have also informed TBR Football꧋ that Wolves are furious at this development – with those at Molineux feeling they have been used by the RC Lens No.4’s agent to get a better deal.
