Plays 90 minutes on debut
Danso registered one tackle (zero won) and seven clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Danso was immediately handed a full workload following his loan move from Tottenham and matched Daniel Ballard with seven clearances at the heart of Sunderland's defense. His physical presence should complement Ballard well as the pair develop their partnership, although Danso's offside position and interference with Caoimhin Kelleher resulted in Ballard's potential first-half goal being disallowed. Playing the entire match immediately after his arrival suggests Danso is already in position to take on a significant role.
Completes Sunderland move
Danso completed a season-long loan deal from Tottenham to Sunderland on Tuesday.
Analysis: Danso asked to leave Tottenham before the end of the summer transfer window, and the Austria international got his wish granted with a season-long loan move to the Black Cats. Danso will continue playing in the Premier League and should be in line for steady minutes at the back for Sunderland once he gets back to full match fitness, though he'll compete with Omar Alderete, Nordi Mukiele and Daniel Ballard for playing time.
