Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez has agreed personal terms with Tottenham and the two clubs are just looking to thrash out a deal that would see the Ajax man move to Spurs before the end of the transfer window.
While it has been a disappointing transfer window so far, a report from Dutch outlet De Telegraaf Sport claims that we are close to bringing Ajax’s player of the year from last year and that would provide us with a lot of quality cover for our defence.
The 21-year-old has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Real Madrid but the report claims that he only wants to play for us. The problem lies with his valuation as we want to complete the deal in a package worth €40million while his club wants close to €50million, without a lot of performance related clauses, according to the report.
The 21-year-old could be one of the better signings this summer but the price point will be a major issue should Daniel Levy and the likes stay stubborn.
It is safe to say that Spurs fans had a lot to say about this proposed deal and here are some of the best reactions from Twitter. Read on!
We have been "closing in on" Sanchez for so long that we have probably passed him without noticing…. #THFC #COYS

If Levy gets Aurier, Sanchez and Barkley, keeps Rose and offloads Sissoko…. surely thats a good result? @SpursOfficial #COYS

If we don't sign Sanchez this window, he'll not be available again. W/ other big teams circling, this needs to happen ASAP. #COYS #THFC

It's possible that Tottenham may elect to purchase Foyth instead of Sanchez. Not there yet, but momentum growing. #THFC #COYS

I always think it is interesting when fans demand that Levy spend more money than they will earn in their lifetime when they snap their fingers. We will add 3-4 before the deadline. Sissoko is staying. Slight possibility of Rose &/or Wimmer moving but not until we have signed a few. Likely we will add Sanchez- possibly Aurier, Keita Balde and/or Pape Cheikh. – Toljan still possible What are we afraid of. In addition the door is still open for another 4-5 alternatives. Poch & Levy are doing great.
love this team but ,but, we going to lose them if we dont win something this season, some how losing a league title to, wait for it , Leicester, and watching Chelsea win the league and arsenal win the cup be considered good times.dont know who to buy but need one world class player to make it all happen , even if we spend crazy money(hey!its not really ours,joe louise and entic or who ever) and not invest in a young player which is policy. ..coys
West Ham want Carvalho. Asking price is £40m, West Ham say £36m. Deal at a standstill and looks like it could be off. It’s not just Levy, there are other chairmen who are sensible enough to want to negotiate a good deal. He is just the only one who gets slaughtered for it.
I get the frustration. But hopefully we are learning from past errors. The Bale money could have been better spent I guess? Sissoko..was he worth 30m? Will he get the game time every player needs to improve..ie Davies.
Will we persevere with Winks..who for me is not ready for the big time he seriously weakens the team. Fine if we’re just bringing on young players. But if we are to win the League or even cups we need a better player. I’m sure we will sign someone and the bloke from Ajax looks a fit. A striker would be nice. I like Jansen but the whole team set up needs to change to get him playing. I gave up hoping for Spurs to win anything a long time ago. I’m happy watching the team develop and the way we play. Maybe when we get into the new stadium Spurs might look at their wage structure. But then again they might not.
