Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of central defender Kevin Danso from Lens. The Austria international, 26, will move to the Premier League club initially on loan before Spurs have an obligation to make the switch permanent in the summer.

Tottenham have boosted their defensive options with the signing of defender Kevin Danso from Lens. Danso has joined the north London side on loan until the end of the season with an obligation to sign him permanently. Sources have told ESPN that Spurs agreed a deal worth €25 million ($25.9m) to sign the defender on a five-year deal in the summer.

New Tottenham centre-back Kevin Danso says it was an easy decision to swap Ligue 1 for Premier League football once Spurs became interested. Danso has joined from Lens on loan with a commitment to buy in the summer.
