New Tottenham centre-back Kevin Danso says it was an easy decision to swap Ligue 1 for Premier League football once Spurs became interested.

Danso has joined from Lens on loan with a commitment to buy in the summer.

"I have always wanted to play for a big club in the Premier League and Tottenham are exactly that," the 26-year-old told the club website. "As soon as you hear of their interest, the only thing you can do is say yes.

"It is an amazing project to be part of and I am happy to be here.

"Growing up everyone watches the Premier League, so it is a dream come true. Growing up you dream of winning trophies, so I hope as a club we can win a couple.

"I'm a quick, powerful centre-back. Good on the ball and in one-on-one defending situations. That is what I thrive on because I love to defend."
