# Southampton: Kevin Danso has started training ahead of Liverpool clash

**Southampton summer signing Kevin Danso has started training with his new side, with it looking likely that he could feature for the Saints in their clash against Liverpool this weekend, [via footballghana.com](https://footballghana.com/ghanas-kevin-danso-trains-with-southampton-ahead-liverpool-clash)**

The Austria U21 international – who is also eligible to represent both Ghana and England through his parents – joined the Premier League outfit from German side Augsburg on a season-long loan last Thursday.

The central defender could come in to shore up a far-from-convincing Southampton defence, which shipped three goals during their visit to Burnley in last Saturday’s Premier League curtain-raiser at Turf Moor.

The 20-year-old will surely be eager to get his Southampton career off the mark soon, as he looks to forge a potential permanent move to the south coast when his loan is completed next summer.

Danso began training with his new teammates on Tuesday – continuing yesterday and today – and could now feature against Jurgen Klopp’s recent UEFA Super Cup winners this Saturday.

Last season Danso managed [a goal and assist from defence](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-danso/profil/spieler/263236) and established himself as a mainstay in the Bundesliga. At 6ft 3 he is a towering presence who will also look to play out from the back (highlighted by [Get German Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsgermany.com/2018/feature-ggfns-20-to-watch-for-2018/)).

Danso is also adept to playing in central midfield, a position he played in during his time at MK Dons, something which the [Bundesliga](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/kevin-danso-augsburg-wonderkid-dele-alli-mk-dons-desailly-474586.jsp)‘s official website spoke about in a profile piece.
