Danso was one of three Tottenham players who asked to leave the club after falling out of favour. Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi revealed Danso, Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr had all requested moves away after their 2-0 defeat to Newcastle. He said: “Richarlison, I don’t know. “He said too many times [that] he wants to leave. Danso came to me two days ago, and he said he wants to leave, and Pape Sarr, the same, but he suffer a small injury, but he is almost ready to train.” Richarlison ended up refusing a return to Everton, which scuppered Tottenham’s £65m deal for Iliman Ndiaye. Spurs have instead made a surprise move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. Comment now
