Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal that could be worth over £40 million to sign Ajax centre-back Davinson Sanchez.

Although the club is not expecting to announce the deal until the weekend, an agreement is in place subject to the formalities of the defender obtaining a work permit and completing a medical.

Tottenham will pay Ajax £27m up front for the 21-year-old, with further £14m potentially due in add-ons depending on his appearances and success at the club.

Sanchez was named Ajax’s Player of the Year last season but told the club this week that he wanted to join Spurs.

Former Tottenham and Ajax coach Martin Jol said Sanchez would need to “learn his trade” to be success in the Premier League and could find opportunities at Spurs.

Jol said, “If you play for Ajax, you can play for any club in the world — that is reality.

“He was arguably their best player. He is unbelievably quick. For a young player, he was mentally strong at Ajax.

“But to be mentally good for the Premier League, you have to learn your trade.

“Where can Sanchez play? If Pochettino plays three at the back, that’s different. Then maybe [Eric] Dier or [Mousa] Dembele doesn’t play. And I think Dembele is probably the best player at Spurs.

“I think the ideal situation would be to take Sanchez on loan with an option [to buy]. See if he plays. But that’s impossible. Ajax gave him a contract until 2022, so they can ask whatever they want.”
