Kevin Danso: Sunderland to sign Tottenham defender on season-long loan

Sunderland are set to complete a season-long loan deal for Tottenham defender Kevin Danso.

BBC Sport revealed on Friday that Spurs had rejected an initial loan proposal for Danso, 27, from the Black Cats.

But the clubs have since reopened talks and agreed a deal in which Danso will move to the Stadium of Light on loan, with an option for Sunderland to make the move permanent.

Tottenham's imminent signing of centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, from Chelsea has unlocked Danso's move to Sunderland.

Spurs were previously unwilling to let the Austria international leave without finding a replacement.

Danso joined Spurs on loan from Lens in January 2025 and the deal was made permanent for £20.9m later that year.
