Davinson Sanchez is set to join Tottenham Hotspur.
Ajax star Andre Onana has wished Davinson Sanchez all the best upon his imminent move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Colombian still needs to pass a medical and get a work permit approved before the transfer is complete.
Sanchez leaves Ajax under somewhat of a cloud after missing their past two matches as he was distracted by the transfer. Ajax lost both.
Onana though insists Sanchez leaves with his blessing.
He told NU Sport: “He is a very good boy and a good friend of mine. I am happy for him, even if it is difficult.
“This applies not only to me but also to the club and supporters.
“Davinson was very important, but sometimes you have an understanding of a transfer.”
The centre-back will become Tottenham’s record signing after negotiations last week saw Ajax eventually cave in at upwards of £40 million.
The Eredivisie side had been determined to keep the South American, but his insistence on a departure made it almost impossible to turn down the huge money on offer.
