Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Kevin Danso is of the view that Spurs have more fans in north London than their rivals Arsenal and expressed his delight at delivering the Europa League for them.

The player is currently on international duty with Austria national team and he stated that people who do not live in London will not realise how big a club Tottenham are and he admitted that he disagrees with the common notion that Arsenal are the biggest north London club.

Danso thinks that north London has more Tottenham supporters than their rivals Arsenal and admitted that to see them happy gave him incredible joy.

“If you don’t live in London, you might not realise how big Tottenham is”, Danso was quoted as saying by Austrian daily the Kleine Zeitung.

“A lot of people think north London is Arsenal. But in my opinion, there are a lot more Tottenham fans than Arsenal fans.

“It was an incredible feeling to see how much joy we gave the fans.”

Spurs secured a ticket in the Champions League with their Europa League win and they are keen on improving the squad in the ongoing window.

Tottenham confirmed that they have made Danso’s move permanent by paying £21m to Lens and have agreed to a five-year deal with the player.

Now Danso will be bidding to nail down a regular centre-back spot at Tottenham amid competition from the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin.
