Jamie O’Hara has torn into Tottenham Hotspur’s Davinson Sanchez on live radio.

Spurs came from a goal down on a number of occasions to eventually beat Leeds United 4-3 in North London on Saturday afternoon.

It was another awful performance from Tottenham on the whole but, fortunately for them and Antonio Conte, they got away with one big time.

O’Hara was certainly not in forgiving mood afterwards though.

The former Lilywhites midfielder took aim at a couple of Spurs players but particularly Sanchez, a second-half substitute.

The Colombia international, a £42 million signing in 2017 [Guardian], was easily beaten for Leeds’ third goal.

And O’Hara claims the defender plays with ‘cement in his feet’.

He told talkSPORT: “Sanchez should never ever be coming on the pitch again for Tottenham. He plays with cement in his feet.”

In the South American’s defence, he also did provide a couple of major tackles to help keep the scoreline to only three.

In any case, it isn’t Sanchez’s fault.

Everyone knows the former Ajax player isn’t the world’s finest central defender and if he’s still playing games for Tottenham it’s because not enough work has gone in on the defence in recent years.

Clement Lenglet was the only centre-back to be signed last summer and he’s only on loan from Barcelona.

This is an area where Conte and Fabio Paratici need to revamp as soon as possible.
