Tottenham have signed Lens centre back Kevin Danso after Fikayo Tomori turned down a move to north London.
Wolves had been on the verge of completing a deal for the 26-year-old Austrian international, with agreements in place and a medical scheduled for Sunday. However, in a late twist, Danso’s representatives informed Wolves on Saturday night that the move was off, citing Tottenham’s interest as a key reason for the change of plan.
The centre-back, who had a brief spell in the Premier League with Southampton in 2019-20, has been a regular fixture for Lens, making 128 appearances across four seasons. His solid performances in Ligue 1 had attracted attention from multiple clubs, but it now appears that Spurs are leading the race for his signature.
