Tottenham have boosted their defensive options with the signing of defender Kevin Danso from Lens. Danso has joined the north London side on loan until the end of the season with an obligation to sign him permanently.

Tottenham Hotspur have signed defender Kevin Danso on loan from Ligue 1 side RC Lens, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

Tottenham face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Spurs are hoping to save their season, and manager, with a much-needed win.

Brentford went into this match as the top scorers at home in the Premier League this season, but suffer a rare blank as they are frustrated by Tottenham.

Tottenham ended a winless run of seven Premier League matches as they beat Brentford 2-0 at Gtech Community Stadium. Spurs, who were also on a run of four successive league losses, gained a much-needed three points on a day where captain Son Heung-min played a part in both goals.
