New Tottenham Hotspur signing Kevin Danso says his target is to win trophies with the club, Afrosport reports.
The 26-year-old Austrian, who is of Ghanaian heritage, completed a loan move from French Ligue 1 club RC Lens for the rest of the season.
Danso’s arrival comes at a crucial time when Spurs have been depleted by injuries while still being active in all cup competitions: FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League.
Reflecting on his move, Danso said: “It feels amazing [to sign]. I’ve always wanted to play for a big club in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur is exactly that… I think as soon as you hear Tottenham Hotspur is interested, the only thing you can do is say yes.
“Just everything, especially through the last few years, how big the club has become — they’ve got into a Champions League final before. It’s just an amazing project to be a part of and I’m happy to be here.
“There’s opportunities to win trophies. I think that is every kid’s dream growing up — to win trophies at a Club like Tottenham Hotspur.”

Danso returns to England having played for Southampton during the 2019-20 season on loan from Augsburg. His formative football years began at Reading and MK Dons before moving to Germany. He reveals it was always his plan to come back to the top flight.
“Definitely [it was the plan to return to England]. I grew up playing academy football here. Everyone watches the Premier League. As I said, it’s a dream come true,” he added.
“I’m not sure I imagined [going onto play alongside Dominic], but it’s happening now, so I look forward to it. I must say, he had a really good game [back then] so hopefully he has many more good games at Spurs and helps us win a lot more games, and I can help the team do the same.”
Danso could be in line to make his Tottenham debut in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday night.
