Kevin Danso's Tottenham Hotspur future is very much uncertain in these final hours of the transfer window.

The 27-year-old defender hasn't played much of a role in Roberto De Zerbi's side so far this season.

He was an unused substitute in the opening day defeat at Brentford, having been sent off against Chelsea in a friendly prior.

However, he did come off the bench and score in his 25-minute Carabao Cup cameo against Charlton.

But after not being in the Spurs squad for the defeat to Newcastle on Saturday, question marks over his N17 future have been raised.

What is Kevin Danso's new Tottenham exit timeline?

Over the last couple of days, Sunderland have been strongly linked with a move for Danso.

And in a fresh report from The Sun on Monday morning, it's claimed that he could leave Spurs within the next 24 hours as talks accelerate.

The Black Cats are once again claimed to be making a strong push for his signature, and that Danso is keen to explore a move to Wearside.

As a result, it's claimed that Tottenham are indeed looking for a potential last-minute replacement should he go.

But what would his starting prospects be if he completes a switch to the Stadium of Light?

Why Sunderland will have big attraction for Danso

As one of the Premier League's surprise packages last season, Sunderland are preparing to take on Europe in 2026-27.

The flip side to that is Regis Le Bris' squad will be stretched when it comes to stamina levels.

Currently, Dan Ballard, Luke O'Nien, Omar Alderete and Nordi Mukiele are Sunderland's only natural and senior centre-backs.

A solid group, but not one that Danso would probably look at and hold too much fear over competition for a starting role.

So, with Sunderland being very much a club on the up and with European football on offer this term, Danso could easily become a star player for the Black Cats.
