Tottenham remain keen on Davinson Sanchez.

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Davinson Sanchez has thrown his future at Ajax into doubt.

The Guardian report Sanchez is keen on a move to Spurs, who would have to make him their record signing at £40 million to convince the Dutch side to sell.

Yesterday Ajax hoped for clarity on his situation, ordering him into train with the first team and prepare for Thursday’s Europa League qualifier against Rosenborg.

Sanchez had missed their Eredivisie defeat to Heracles at the weekend as he was distracted by speculation over his future.

Ajax only partly got their wish. Sanchez did report to training, but it was not what they hoped for.

Het Parool report Sanchez claimed to be suffering from a knee problem, and so did not train with his teammates.

He trained alone and then underwent treatment.

The report states there is a real lack of clarity as to whether he is under consideration for selection for the match with Rosenborg, which Ajax are at home for.

Sanchez may be hoping a move can be tied up before Thursday, while Ajax could come to the conclusion that his very presence will be a distraction they do not need, even if their weekend defeat suggests they could do with him on the pitch.

Dutch website Telesport reported last night that Sanchez has agreed personal terms with Spurs and rejected a new contract from Ajax – but the two clubs are ‘miles apart’ in their valuation of the player.
