Davinson Sanchez: Spurs agree deal for Ajax defender

Davinson Sanchez from Ajax has been bought, providing he passes his medical. The fee is a club record of £42 m.

The Colombia centre-back has agreed on a deal with Spurs. Sanchez, 21, would be our first signing this summer. Our manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday he wants four new recruits before the end of the transfer window and "expects the club to sign more players".

If completed, the deal could exceed the club record £30m Spurs paid Newcastle for France midfielder Moussa Sissoko 12 months ago.
Sanchez joined Ajax in 2016 for £3.8m and played for the Dutch side in their European league cup final against Manchester United in May.
