Sunderland are set to complete a season-long loan deal for Tottenham defender Kevin Danso.

But the clubs have since reopened talks and agreed a deal in which Danso will move to the Stadium of Light on loan, with an option for Sunderland to make the move permanent.

Tottenham's imminent signing of centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, from Chelsea has unlocked Danso's move to Sunderland.

Spurs were previously unwilling to let the Austria international leave without finding a replacement.

Danso joined Spurs on loan from Lens in January 2025 and the deal was made permanent for £20.9m later that year.
