Davinson Sanchez is edging closer to exiting Tottenham Hotspur this summer
Popular Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez is edging closer to the exit door, with Spartak Moscow submitting a bid for him.
The Colombian defender has been at the club for many years now and has had a mixed time here. He was signed with much fanfare with fans expecting him to be the long-term leader in the backline.
However, injuries and inconsistent performances have meant that Sanchez has become a liability for Tottenham these days. He always seems to have a mistake in him and despite his young age, does not seem to have a future here.
Sometimes, a fresh start is what a player needs to rediscover his best level and at this point, that is exactly what Sanchez needs. Tottenham also are in a position where they can part ways with him.
All Sanchez needs to do is take a leaf out of Samuel Umtiti’s book. The much-maligned former Barcelona defender went out on loan to Lecce in Italy last season and returned a player reborn. He now has secured a move to French club Losc Lille.
Davinson Sanchez needs something just like this and Spartak Moscow will not be a bad option. Away from the limelight, the Colombian can discover his best level and can always make the return to Europe in the future.
Romano has claimed that the Russian club have made an offer worth €12m for the defender and Tottenham are expected to accept it in all likelihood. It’s up to the player to agree a move now.
Tottenham are expected to make defensive reinforcements this summer and for that to happen, some of the deadwood have to be cleared out. Letting go of Sanchez would be very helpful in that regard.
