Sunderland have reached an agreement to sign Tottenham defender Kevin Danso on loan with an option, with completion anticipated following Monday evening’s development. The move is set up but not yet officially announced by either club.

Details were first published by Sami Mokbel, who reports that the agreement is in place for a temporary switch that includes an option clause. Specifics of the option and the duration of the arrangement have not been disclosed.

The same reporting adds that Tosin Adarabioyo has replaced Danso at Spurs, indicating Tottenham have already moved to cover the position as they sanction the centre-back’s departure.

As it stands, the agreement suggests Danso could join Sunderland once the final steps are completed and formalised. Until an announcement follows, the deal remains short of being official, but the presence of an agreed framework points to a transfer close to conclusion.

No fee details or further contract information have emerged at this stage beyond the existence of the option, and timelines for confirmation have not been given in the report.
