Tottenham star makes bold claim about Spurs and Arsenal fans after £21m transfer
Tottenham's Kevin Danso has only been in north London for a matter of months but believes they have the greater fanbase in the capital when compared to rivals Arsenal Kevin Danso claimed there are more Tottenham fans in north London than Arsenal supporters after spending less than a season in that part of the capital. Those in white are currently revelling in their Europa League triumph and believe they have the local bragging rights after the Gunners endured another trophyless campaign. Their Austrian defender has continued to stoke the fire, claiming the locals follow Tottenham - not Arsenal. The 26-year-old joined Tottenham on loan from Lens in February and has since made his deal was made permanent this week. He's penned a five-year deal for a £21million fee. Among his 15 appearances was the Europa League final in Bilbao. He came off the bench to help Tottenham win their first trophy in 17 years before the team paraded the trophy in front of an estimated 220,000 fans as they lined the streets from Edmonton up to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Danso believes, in one of English football's hotbeds, that Tottenham have the edge when it comes to supporters with his words likely to rattle those in red. He told Austrian media outlet Krone: "[That night in Bilbao] was and still is incredible. I hadn't even realised it on the pitch. I slid down on my knees to the fans. I didn't realise it right away; right after the game it was like a dream. It wasn't until two days later that I truly realised I was a European cup winner. "If you're not in London yourself, you don't really realise what a fan base we have. From outside, you think there are more Arsenal fans in North London, but in my opinion, there are more Tottenham fans." Tottenham's European success covered for a dire Premier League campaign, which saw them lose more than twenty times. Throughout the tournament's history no team had ever lost 22 times and not been relegated, but Ange Postecoglou's side retained their top flight status. Arsenal meanwhile endured another season of near misses as Mikel Arteta faces questions. For a third year on the bounce they were runners-up in the league whilst they had to deal with semi-final losses in the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.

Max Johnston hopes club success by Scottish players can boost national team
The 21-year-old right-back was part of Sturm Graz's championship-winning side, while Napoli pair Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Celtic's Anthony Ralston have also met up with the national team for the friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein fresh from top-flight glory. In addition, Lewis Ferguson captained Bologna to their Coppa Italia triumph, Josh Doig helped Sassuolo to the Serie B title and Grant Hanley won League One with Birmingham. 🏴 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑡 & 𝐵𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑦 💙 @sscnapoli @ScotlandNT — Lega Serie A (@SerieA) June 4, 2025 'It's amazing to see how many trophies in so many different countries that the boys have won,' said Johnston. 'It's amazing to see Scottish players doing so well abroad and it's really encouraging for us that players are starting to win titles now and win cups, so I think that's going to be huge for us. 'As a footballer you want to be a winner, so it's great to see. That'll definitely help us.' Johnston, who moved from Motherwell to Austria two years ago, also appeared in the Champions League as he made 30 appearances for Sturm Graz in the season just finished. The campaign before that, he played 27 times as his side won the league and cup double. Johnston is thrilled with the way his move from Motherwell to the Austrian Bundesliga two years ago has panned out so far. 'It was really enjoyable for me winning the league over in Austria, it was a good season,' he said. 'I feel like I've improved definitely by getting the amount of minutes that I've managed to get over the last year or so. 'As a footballer you need to play to continue to learn, so I feel as though I've been learning and improving every week. 'The Austrian league is a great league for young players. They really try and push the younger generation and give you an opportunity to play. I've really enjoyed the experience on and off the pitch.' Johnston's progress at club level was rewarded when he made his Scotland debut as a late substitute in the Nations League play-off win away to Greece in March, and he now intends to push for more regular involvement with the national team. 'I've got a small taste for it now and it's just made me hungry for more,' he said. 'I want to try and bring what I can to the squad. I like to get forward from my position and create attacking chances, so hopefully that's what I can do for the squad.' Johnston is inspired by his father Allan, a former Hearts, Sunderland, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Kilmarnock winger who won 18 Scotland caps between 1998 and 2002. 'I'm so lucky to have grown up with someone who was involved in the game and he's been a huge help to me, him and my mum as well,' said Johnston. 'Obviously, they've been coming over to Austria and helping me out over there as well, so I'm very lucky for that.'
