Tottenham beat competition to sign Kevin Danso on loan in the January transfer window.
That deal included a €25m purchase option, and Spurs have exercised it. Earlier this week, the defender said he’s not the best at singing [but will blast an Adele number](https://sportwitness.co.uk/probably-adele-with-tottenham-buying-player-hes-already-lined-up-initiation-song/) at his Tottenham initiation.
The 26-year-old has again been speaking to the Austrian media, and has more words which will please the Spurs faithful, this time bringing Arsenal into the conversation. Indeed, Danso couldn’t really come across any better for fans of Ange Postecoglou’s team.
Following the Europa League triumph over Manchester United in Bilbao, it took the player a couple of days to fully digest what had just happened. Indeed, he’s told [Kleine Zeitung](https://www.krone.at/) that it was only when he saw fans during the parade that he grasped the enormity of everything: _“That’s when I really realised that I’m a European trophy winner.”_
Danso appears to have been pleasantly surprised by the Tottenham support, and wanted to put any misconception in Austria about the size of the Spurs fanbase, in relation to Arsenal, correct.
He told the Austrian newspaper: _“If you don’t live in London, you might not realise how big Tottenham is. Many people think North London is Arsenal. But in my opinion, there are many more Tottenham fans than Arsenal. It was an incredible feeling to see how much joy we brought to the fans. Winning something with a club like Tottenham makes the feeling even sweeter.”_
The player could not be happier with how life is going for him right now. Last summer, he was close to moving from Lens to AS Roma, but a medical showed a potential heart issue.
He then had to go through seven weeks of heart examinations to make sure everything was ok, which thankfully turned out to be the case.
And now he’s a European trophy winner, and winding up Arsenal fans as he becomes a growing Tottenham favourite.
