Could a Move to the Premier League Be on the Cards for the Ghanaian International?
Lens defender Kevin Danso has revealed that he could have represented England at international level, expressing his strong affinity with the country. The Ghanaian international, who was born in Austria to Ghanaian parents, has played for the Three Lions at youth level before switching allegiance to Ghana in 2022.
In an exclusive interview with ESPN, Danso opened up about his international dilemma: "I could have played for England. Sometimes I feel more English than anything else. I grew up there, I went to school there, I played for their youth teams. But at the end of the day, I felt like I had to represent my roots, my heritage."
Danso's comments come amidst speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League, a league he has long admired. The 24-year-old defender has impressed for Lens this season, helping the French club establish themselves as surprise title contenders.
However, Lens are reportedly reluctant to negotiate a move during the January transfer window, valuing Danso's contributions to their team. Whether Danso will eventually make a switch to England remains to be seen, but his latest remarks suggest that his heart may already be set on playing in the Premier League.
