Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford were among the clubs to be credited with an interest in RC Lens’ Kevin Danso in the last window, according to L’Equipe.
The centre-back was at Reading and MK Dons’ academy before joining FC Augsburg’s youth team in 2014, and returned to England when Southampton took him on loan during the 2019/20 season.
Wolves and Brentford, along with Napoli, looked at the 25-year-old but a deal didn’t take shape in the summer.
The Austria international played the full 90 minutes in his side’s 2-1 win over Arsenal in the Champions League tie on Tuesday.
Prior to the tie, L’Equipe had a chat with him, where he discussed various topics, including whether he considered changing clubs in the last window. This is when the outlet points out Wolves and Brentford’s interest.
Apart from the Premier League duo, Danso confirmed Napoli had also shown keen interest in acquiring his signature.
Two months ago, the defender signed a new contract until 2027 but that hasn’t stopped him from dreaming of playing in the Premier League.
“Yes of course! [dream to play in the Premier League] When you’re young and in England, you only think about the Premier League. That was it, Barcelona, Real or Bayern, given my origins. And if I could have, for one of my brothers, it would have been Arsenal (laughing)! He even always wanted me to support them, even though I was a United fan like my big brother,” Danso explained.
