About the impending transfer Sanchez informs ESPN. The deal will be a record in the history of "spurs", which will pay for the Colombian 35 million pounds. Previously, the record belonged to Eric Lamela and Musse Sissoko, for which they gave away 30 million.

Sanchez moved to Ajax for less than 5 million pounds last summer from Atletico Nacional. He was a key player in the team that fought for the title in the Netherlands and reached the final of the Europa League. In addition, Davinson was named the best player of Ajax last season.

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino is confident that Sanchez will fit perfectly into the scheme with three central defenders. It is worth noting that in this case, the Colombian will play with two former defenders of Ajax - Jan Vertongen and Toby Alderweideld.

In addition, Sanchez is able to play on the right flank of the defense, which is useful to Tottenham in the light of the departure of Kyle Walker in Man City. Now in this position can play only Kieran Trippier, who replaces the youth team Kyle Walker-Peters.

Also, Tottenham is in talks about the midfielder Selta and the youth national team of Spain Pope Sheikh Diop and retains interest in Ross Barkley from Everton.
