Wolves told Kevin Danso has finalised his move to Spurs

Wolves were close to signing Lens defender Kevin Danso and had arranged a medical for the 26-year-old Austrian international on Sunday morning, but after Saturday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa, Wolves were told that Danso had decided to move to Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

In fact, Wolves had been negotiating with Danso throughout the winter transfer window and were close to finalizing the deal. However, Tottenham intervened at the last minute, negotiated with the player, and finally convinced him to join.

Tottenham manager Angel Postecoglou is looking to strengthen his defence this month after the team's defence was stretched by injuries. Radu Dragusin was injured in the Europa League match against Elfsborg, Christian Romero is also recovering from injury, and Micky van der Ven has just returned from injury. Therefore, Tottenham are in urgent need of a central defender before the winter transfer window closes.

Before pursuing Danso, Tottenham had held in-depth negotiations with AC Milan for England international Fikayo Tomori, but the player ultimately chose to stay in Serie A. At the same time, Bayern Munich striker Matthijs Ter also rejected Tottenham's invitation, even though chairman Daniel Levy had negotiated a transfer fee of £50 million for him.

As for Wolves, they have signed central defender Emmanuel Agbadu earlier in the winter window, but after the failure of Danso's transfer, the club is stepping up its search for another central defender. At present, the winter window will officially close at 11 pm British time on Monday, leaving Wolves with little time to strengthen their defense.
