  • Tottenham are set to smash their club record as they close in on Ajax centre-back Davinson Sanchez.

    Mauricio Pochettino is the only manager yet to make a single signing in this transfer window but according to the Evening Standard is prepared to finally buy big.

    The Spurs boss is hoping the acquisition of the 21-year-old will allow him to use a 3-4-3 and 4-2-3-1 formation with Kevin Wimmer dropping well down the pecking order and linked with a move to Southampton.

    Ajax maintain Sanchez is not for sale, but the Colombia international is apparently refusing to train with the Dutch giants in a bid to force through the move to north London.

    The deal looks to be an initial £27million fee with up to £40million in add-ons and the video below gives an insight into the type of player Spurs supporters can expect.
