Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been singing the praises of new signing Kevin Danso who helped the team keep a clean sheet against Manchester United.

Tottenham defeated United 1-0 with James Maddison’s first-half strike proving to be the decisive moment in a match between two struggling sides.

Ruben Amorim’s front three failed to break down Spurs’ back line with Ben Davies and Danso producing solid performances, whilst Djed Spence also caught the eye.

But it was the display of their new signing which impressed fans the most and they were left particularly impressed with one aspect of his game.

Tottenham fans impressed by Kevin Danso’s ball-playing ability

Tottenham fans claim that Kevin Danso’s ball-playing ability against Man United was an aspect of his game which left them impressed.

The 26-year-old offers a solid upgrade on Radu Dragusin in possession who has looked shaky this season prior to his ACL injury.

He managed to complete 51 out of his 58 passes, whilst also making one key pass and managing 70 touches.

Danso arrived in January for around £21m from Lens and the former Southampton defender already looks to be an astute addition for the Lilywhites.

After the win over United, Spurs fans took to X to share their appreciation for Danso and to praise how good he looked on the ball.

One fan said: “The difference between Danso and Dragusin on the ball is insane.”

“Danso has been great. He looks like he wants the ball. He has been pointing stuff out. I don’t want to make fun of Radu, but Danso is a much better fit for this system,” added another.

There was yet more praise for the Austrian defender: “Danso has one more on the ball in one half than Dragusin in a lifetime.”

“Spurs’ best player at Anfield and wasn’t half bad here either, their mini-Rudiger in his commitment and combativeness. Not bad for the price paid is Danso,” claimed one more fan.

Ange Postecoglou’s injury update on Kevin Danso

Ange Postecoglou admitted Danso picked up a slight knock against Man United, however, he is hopeful he should be fine.

The defender now has a week to recover before the next match, which is something Spurs’ players have had very little chance to do over recent months.

Speaking after the match, Postecgolou told the media: “Danso, Rodri and Sonny all picked up knocks. They should be fine but the beauty now is that we can allow them to rest and recover rather than throwing them straight back out there.”
