Ange's wounded Spurs poised to sign defender Danso

However, with defender Radu Dragusin the latest Tottenham player to suffer an injury, it is understood the north London club have moved quickly to recruit Danso in a deal set to be worth 25 million euros ($A41.6m). 

Danso is no stranger to English football, having started out in the MK Dons academy before joining Augsburg as a teenager. 

An unsuccessful loan spell at Southampton followed in the 2019-20 campaign, but over the last few years he has established himself as an Austria international and impressed with Lens. 

After 128 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit, Danso is now expected to join Tottenham to boost Postecoglou's depleted squad who have slumped to 16th on the Premier League ladder.
