Tottenham are hoping to tie up a deal for Ajax starlet Davinson Sanchez by the end of the week.

Spurs are optimistic of reaching an agreement with the Dutch giants for an initial £27m rising to £40m with add-ons.

Colombia international Sanchez, 21, has made it clear he wants to join Spurs, hampering Ajax's hopes of a bidding war.

And signing Sanchez will help ease some of the concerns about Spurs' lack of transfer business this summer.

They are the only Premier League side yet to make a signing.

Sanchez would become the third ex-Ajax defender at Spurs, joining Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.

And his arrival would push Southampton-target Kevin Wimmer further down the pecking order at White Hart Lane.
