Tottenham star Kevin Danso reacts to transfer announcement as emotional homecoming confirmed
Kevin Danso joined Tottenham in the 2025 winter window on loan with an obligation to buy.
The Austrian defender has struggled to make himself a regular feature under Thomas Frank, after previously starting nine out of 10 games available in the Premier League last season.
Danso was recently slammed for ‘comedy’ defending alongside his teammates during the 2-2 draw against Burnley.
However, Danso has also impressed at times this season, in what has been a difficult league campaign for the London club.
Kevin Danso reacts as Austrian teammate returns to youth club
Danso is aiming to return for Tottenham as soon as possible after recently picking up an injury against Eintracht Frankfurt.
In that game, the centre-back snapped the ligament in his big toe, which kept him out of Tottenham’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Now, he is still ruled out for Spurs’ clash against Manchester United.
However, while he is focused on a return himself, the player is keeping tabs on things back over in his home country.
And in that sense, there has been a return as well, but this time in the transfer market.
Former Premier League striker Andreas Weimann has returned to Rapid Wien on loan for the rest of the season. Weimann played in the youth setup at the Austrian club between 2005 and 2007.
Danso, who has played with Weimann on six occasions for Austria, reacted to the post by giving it a like.
What has Frank said about Danso this season?’
Although his playing time does not show it, Frank is a big admirer of Danso and has admitted how much he enjoys working with him.
Speaking ahead of facing Manchester United, Frank said, “I think every time he has been called upon this season, he has just delivered. It is fantastic to work with him in every aspect.”
At the moment, there is no timeline on his return from injury, but it is said to be soon. The Dane will be delighted to welcome the Austrian back into the fold, as his options are looking quite slim.
The injury came at a bad time for the player, as it could have been a chance for him to prove his worth. Over the course of the season, he has been named as an unused substitute (10) more times than he has been in the starting lineup (eight).
Now, the likes of Micky van de Ven are starting to return from injury, which could see Danso slip back into the cameo role he has had for most of the season so far.
