Tottenham are in talks to sign £35million Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez .

The north Londoners were last night confident of landing the coup that would shatter their transfer record and produce the perfect response to their critics.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be in Amsterdam trying to thrash out a deal for the twice-capped 21-year-old who has made himself one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.

England left-back Danny Rose expressed concern this week that the club would once again target “players you have to Google”.

But Sanchez was the Ajax Player of the Year last season and shone in the Europa League Final, despite his side losing to Manchester United.

Before joining the Dutch giants he was a member of Nacional’s 2016 winning team in the Copa Libertadores.

The versatile defender is able to play at centre-back or right back and would further strengthen a backline that established itself as the best in the country last season.
