Southampton ignored £3m option to buy ‘super’ player who is now shining at Tottenham after £21m move

With Danny Ings scoring an incredible 25 goals in all competitions, the Saints finished 11th in the Premier League and had one of Europe’s top goal scorers that season.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s victories over Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City during that season were particularly noteworthy.

Nevertheless, Southampton took a choice at the conclusion of the 2019–20 season that now appears to have been a costly error.

Southampton could have signed Kevin Danso for just £3m

Kevin Danso is currently a Premier League star, however he plays for Tottenham instead of Southampton.

For the 2019–20 season, the Saints signed the Austrian international on loan from Augsburg, however Hasenhuttl only gave him ten games since Jack Stephens and Jan Bednarek were favored.

According to Sky, Southampton did negotiate a £3 million option to sign Danso permanently, but in the summer of 2020 they decided not to exercise that option, and the central defender returned to Germany for another loan stint, this time at Fortuna Dusseldorf.

To his credit, the Voitsberg native made enough of an impression to land a transfer to RC Lens, where, following 128 games and a taste of the UEFA Champions League, he matured to the point that Tottenham agreed to pay £21 million to sign him during the most recent winter transfer window.

let that Southampton is now in the bottom of the Premier League with 65 goals let up in 27 games, we can believe that Ivan Juric would like having Danso, who really impresses Ange Postecoglou.

Wolves must also be envious of Tottenham

Wolves must be envious that Tottenham now owns the Austrian, in addition to Southampton.

In fact, just before the February 3rd transfer deadline, Spurs abruptly acquired Danso from Wolves, which infuriated everyone at Molineux.

The Old Gold ultimately acquired Nasser Djiga to accompany Emmanuel Agbadou, a move done earlier in the transfer season, but Wolves are undoubtedly regretting losing out on Danso’s form.
