Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

K. Danso is a 27-year-old central defender at Tottenham, rated 60.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 253rd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Danso.

Judged on this season alone, Danso graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.673 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 41st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 27 Danso is in his prime years, and a market index of 73.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Danso missed 3 games through injury (toe) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.9, Danso carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tottenham finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
