Here are three good reasons for OM to recruit RC Lens central defender Kevin Danso this winter.
If Lilian Brassier leaves this winter, Olympique de Marseille could recruit a new central defender by February 2 after having already secured the services of Luiz Felipe. And the Marseille club would be thinking in particular of the defensive rock of RC Lens, Kevin Danso, as we learned last Sunday from Téléfoot. Here's why Marseille leaders must rush towards the Austrian this winter.
Danso is one of the best central defenders in L1
Arriving on tiptoe at RC Lens in the summer of 2022 from Augsburg in exchange for a check for 5.5 million euros, Kevin Danso experienced a meteoric rise among the Sang et Or, to the point of quickly becoming the one of the best central defenders in the French championship. And even despite his aborted transfer to AS Roma last summer and the story of his heart problem, which caused him to miss six games at the start of the season, the Austrian international is still playing at a very good level this season.
Danso knows three-man defenses very well
Since his arrival in Artois, Kevin Danso has mainly played in a three-way central defense where his trio with Jonathan Gradit and Facundo Medina under Franck Haise worked wonders. And this is sometimes the case again this season with Will Still. This is good, Roberto De Zerbi's Olympique de Marseille has also been playing for several weeks with three central defenders. In addition to knowing this system very well, the Lensois has the advantage of being able to play on both the left and right axes of a central defense.
Its market value has not yet exploded
Due in particular to his turbulent summer and doubts about his state of health, the market value of Kevin Danso has been the same since last summer, that is to say 25 million euros. And this is the price that the Lensois leaders would demand to let their player leave during the winter transfer window. But there is no doubt that the market value of the former Augsburg player should end up increasing if he continues to gain strength and approach his level of recent seasons. So for OM, this winter is now or never to treat yourself to Kevin Danso at a relatively reasonable price.
