The Austrian international had agreed a move to Wolves and was expected to undergo a medical in the Molineux club on Sunday.
But last night they were told that the deal was dramatically finished, with Danso instead giving a switch to Spurs.
The side of Ange Postecoglou had been desperate to sign a defender for the deadline of tomorrow after several injuries.
Micky van de Ven has just returned to Fitness and has previously played only once since October.
While Cristian Romero, except for a 15 -minute cameo against Chelsea, is not visible since the international break of November.
Radu Dragusin became the newest Spurs defender who sustained an injury during the 3-0 victory of Thursday evening over Elfsborg.
The Romanian is expected to miss most of the rest of the season with a knee problem.
Spurs Chiefs initially tried to sign the former Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori of AC Milan.
They corresponded to a deal with the Italian side, only for Tomori to stand on the San Siro.
Spurs then continued to Danso and Kaacking Wolves' deal for the impressive 6ft 3in center-back.
Danso was previously part of the Academy of MK Down before moving to Augsburg at the age of 16 -.
He had a loan in Southampton while he moved to France with RC -Lens in the books of the German club.
Danso was mentioned in the Ligue 1-Team of the year before the 2022-23 season when his uncertain side only ended up one point behind champions Paris Saint-Germain.
'All you can do is say yes'
The defender has spoken about his joy to join Spurs and tells their club media: “It feels great to be here at the club, I have always wanted to play for a big club in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur is exactly that .
“I think that as soon as you hear that Tottenham Hotspur is interested, the only thing you can do is say yes (it is a) great project to be part of and I am happy to be here.
“I am a fast, powerful middle behind, good on the ball, good in an-v-one defending situations, that is what I do on and that is what I like to do, defend.
“I grew up playing Academy Football, everyone looked at the Premier League and it is a dream come true.”
Danso will not be able to play in the Prem Clash of this afternoon in Brentford.
But on condition that his work permit arrives on time, as expected that this will do, he was able to make his debut against Liverpool in Anfield in the huge Carabao Cup Semi-final second stage of Thursday evening.
Tottenham may not be ready in this month's transfer window.
It is claimed that they could still look to add another defender after they have spoken with Chelsea with regard to a potential loan agreement for Axel Disasi.
In the meantime, Postecoglou and Co still want to sign a forward player, rejected by Bayern Munich Teen Mathys Tel on Friday.
Spurs reportedly did an investigation into the wing player Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.
