Tottenham have hijacked Wolves’ loan deal to sign Kevin Danso, talkSPORT understands.
Wolves looked to be close to landing the Lens defender, but Ange Postecoglou’s side have swooped in at the last minute to snatch him from their grasp.

So advanced was Danso’s deal with Vitor Pereira’s side, he was due to fly into England on Sunday to undergo a medical with the club.
But the club have now been told that the player will instead be making a move to north London.
The 26-year-old had already been linked with a number of sides across Europe, including Juventus, Rennes and Aston Villa.
News of Tottenham’s late move will have undoubtedly soured the mood at Molineux following their impressive 2-0 win over Villa on Saturday evening.
Tottenham’s desire for a new centre-back has been well-documented.
Spurs had made advances on Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori, but the former Chelsea star opted to remain in Italy.
Postecoglou’s side had also made a move for out-of-favour Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.
But the late play for Danso all but confirms the end of Tottenham’s interest in the ex-Monaco star.
