Tottenham are working on a deal to sign Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Spurs have spent significantly in the summer window, but any further incomings could be based on whether players depart.
Fellow Premier League side Sunderland are showing an interest in signing defender Danso in the final days of the window, so Tottenham may need to find a replacement.
Tottenham are likely to be willing to let Danso depart in the coming days, with Roberto De Zerbi confirming that three players have asked to leave the club.
“He said too many times [Richarlison] he wants to leave. Danso came to me two days ago, and he said he wants to leave, and Pape Sarr, the same, but he suffer[ed] a small injury, but he is almost ready to train.”
As a result, Tottenham are now working on finding a possible replacement in the centre-back position.
Romano has confirmed that Chelsea are working on a deal to sign Tosin, which could allow Kevin Danso to depart.
The respected journalist has confirmed that it is a concrete possibility for Tottenham, but it remains to be seen whether it will be a loan or a permanent transfer.

It remains unclear whether Chelsea would be willing to sell to Tottenham, but you'd imagine Spurs wouldn't be working on a deal if they didn't have encouragement.
Tottenham will need to replace Danso if they sell him, but there's little time remaining in the window for both deals to be completed.

Tosin move might not make sense

Tosin has struggled to make himself a regular starter at Chelsea, and his next move will surely be to a club that is willing to play him every week.
Going into the Tottenham side won't be easy, with them having Micky van de Ven, Marcos Senesi and Jan-Paul van Hecke as three main options.

Signing him would help provide cover for Chelsea, but maybe bringing in a more versatile option would be a smarter move.
It feels like Tottenham's final signing, after Iliman Ndiaye of Everton, could be a defender.
