Sunderland sign Spurs defender Danso on loan

Sunderland have added Austrian defender Kevin Danso to their ranks on a loan deal until the end of the current season. The Black Cats will pay £2.5m for the transfer, which could become permanent next summer if they stay in the Premier League, with a transfer fee of £22.5m. Danso expressed his excitement about joining Sunderland, stating, "I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started.

Sunderland is a big club with huge ambition, and I'm excited to be part of what we're building this season." The 27-year-old, who made 52 appearances for Tottenham after signing from RC Lens in January 2025, will strengthen Sunderland's squad ahead of their first European campaign since 1973. This move comes as Sunderland pursues a deal for Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
