Tottenham Hotspur are set to complete their first signing of the summer after agreeing a deal to sign central defender Davinson Sanchez from Ajax.

Sanchez did not report to the Ajax team hotel for the Dutch club’s Europa League play-off against Rosenborg on Thursday night, as Spurs closed in on one of manager Mauricio Pochettino’s top targets.

Sources in Holland claim Tottenham will pay around £28million up front and a potential £14m in add-ons to take Sanchez to White Hart Lane.

With the two clubs in broad agreement over the figures, there was a last-minute dispute over how quickly the fee will be paid by Spurs with Ajax trying to bring it forwards.

But it appears that has been resolved, with Sanchez keen to complete a back three of former Ajax defenders at Spurs with Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.
