Incompatible Type Error When using JSON with Enums in Typescript

The below code is producing a type error which i am not able to solve, Any suggestion would be helpful, I am fairly new to typescript.

1) File name Model.ts which holds below code

export declare namespace player {
 enum status {
   HOLD = "hold".
   PLAYING = "playing",
 }
}

export interface player {
 id? : String;
 playerName? : String;
 joiningDate? : number;
 status : player.status
}

2) Receiving following JSON data via API call

{
    "status" : "success",
    "validations" : null,
    "data" : {
        id? : "scbgfd-23432-kudgba";
        playerName? : 'Jhon Doe';
        joiningDate? : 164952142565;
        status : 'hold'
    }
}

3) Business Logic

export const filterPlayer = (data : Player) : string  => {
    /// Logic For Filtering Player and Returning its ID
}

const player = // Api Call Receiving Above JSON Data //
const filteredPlayer =  filterPlayer(player)  // This line Produce Error

The Error Produced By Above Mentioned Line

Argument Of Type {
    id? : String;
    playerName? : String;
    joiningDate? : number;
    status : player.status
} is not assignable to parameter of type "Player". 
Types of property status are incompatible. 
Type String is not assignable to type "Status | undefined".

What can i pass in the JSON so that the Lint and Test case both doesn’t throw an error !!
