Tottenham Hotspur double boost confirmed ahead of League Cup semi-final vs Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur will be able to call on their two new loan signings for their League Cup semi-final second leg at Liverpool on Thursday. The Londoners, who have been hit by injuries to their squad throughout the season, were busy during the transfer window and brought in both Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel on a temporary basis.
Centre-back Danso, a former Southampton player, has arrived from Lens for the remainder of the campaign, while teenage forward Tel has done likewise from Bayern Munich.
There had been uncertainty over whether the duo would be available for the Anfield clash against Liverpool given neither was signed before the tie started with the first leg in early January.

But the EFL have confirmed competition rules state both players would be available provided they registered in time in accordance with Premier League regulations, which is now the case.
Tottenham had already benefited from the transfer window opening at the start of the month with the signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague.
The 21-year-old Czech made his debut in the first leg against Liverpool and put in a man-of-the-match performance as the Londoners earned a controversial 1-0 victory.
