Sunderland appear poised to complete the acquisition of Austrian defender Kevin Danso from Tottenham Hotspur on a temporary basis. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the arrangement will involve an initial loan deal with an obligation to purchase for £25 million upon completion. The player is scheduled to undergo a medical examination imminently to finalize the transfer.
Danso’s journey to Tottenham began during the 2024/25 season when he initially joined on loan from French club Lens. Following an impressive spell, Spurs moved to make the signing permanent. The 27-year-old has since made 51 appearances in their colors, including what may prove to be his last outing—a dominant Carabao Cup victory against Charlton Athletic last month, where he contributed to a 5-1 scoreline.
The move represents a strategic addition to Sunderland’s defensive options as they seek reinforcements during the transfer window. Should the deal progress as anticipated, Danso will bring substantial experience to the Black Cats’ backline following his extended tenure with the north London club.
