Image source, Getty Images BySami MokbelSenior football correspondentPublished5 minutes agoTottenham Hotspur have rejected a loan offer from Sunderland for defender Kevin Danso. The Austria centre-back made his first appearance of the season in Wednesday's Carabao Cup win over Charlton, coming on as a second-half substitute.
Market Impact

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 Β£20.9m. ShortsPreviousNext0:54Turns out Itauma is a simple guy.
