Tottenham Rejects Sunderland’s Loan Bid for Defender Kevin Danso
Tottenham Hotspur has declined a loan request from Sunderland for defender Kevin Danso, keeping the player in their ranks for the time being. The Austrian centre-back recently made his season debut during the team’s Carabao Cup victory over Charlton, where he entered the match as a second-half substitute.
Despite this appearance, Danso faces stiff competition for first-team action, particularly following the arrivals of central defenders Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke. Additionally, Micky van de Ven has extended his stay at the club and was named captain, further limiting Danso’s chances.
It remains uncertain if Sunderland will persist in their pursuit of the 27-year-old, who has tallied 37 appearances for Spurs since his arrival. Danso joined Tottenham on loan from Lens in January 2025, a move that transitioned to a permanent deal later that year for a fee of £20.9 million.

But Danso’s first-team chances are likely to be limited this season after the signings of central defenders Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke, while Micky van de Ven has signed a new contract and been named captain.
It now remains to be seen whether Sunderland continue their interest in the 27-year-old, who has made 37 appearances for Spurs.
Danso was signed on loan from Lens in January 2025 and the deal was made permanent later that year with Spurs paying the French club £20.9m.
