Tottenham are hoping to conclude a deal for Juan Foyth after entering advanced talks with the centre-back’s club Estudiantes. Spurs were in contact with the Argentinian club last month but have now firmed up their interest and are hoping to sign the 19-year-old for around £9m.

Spurs, however, will have to fend off interest from Paris St-Germain and Internazionale if they are to sign the Argentinian Under-20 international.

Mauricio Pochettino has maintained all summer he would like to bring in several players before the transfer window closes and the club announced on Friday they have agreed a deal with Ajax for Davinson Sánchez. Spurs will pay a club-record fee of £42m for the Colombian.

Tottenham officials travelled to Amsterdam on Monday in an attempt to thrash out a deal, with the Dutch side initially adamant they would not sell for less than €50m (£45.6m). A first bid worth an initial £25m was rejected but eventually Spurs agreed to pay £28m up front with up to £14m in performance-related bonuses.

Sánchez, who has signed a six-year-deal, said: “I would like to thank the coach, management, players and fans of Ajax. It is a great move for me to come here to develop my career. I am very excited to be signing for such a famous club as Tottenham Hotspur.”
