Colombian centre-back Davinson Sanchez has settled in immediately at Tottenham Hotspur.

According to The Guardian, Premier League clubs spent over £1.4bn on new signings in the last summer transfer window.

HITC are using the international break to analyse who has been worth every penny, and who has been a waste of money.

Here we take a closer look at Tottenham Hotspur’s latest recruit from Ajax – Davinson Sanchez.

One might have thought that adapting to a new league and a new culture may have taken the 21-year-old a few months, at the very least.

But the Colombian already looks as though he has been playing for Spurs for years.

Being flanked by Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen – one of the most established and capable centre-back pairings in Europe – has certainly helped Sanchez settle.

Tottenham’s defence looks even stronger for Sanchez’s addition, with his pace and strength a precious safety blanket against the more testing attacks.

For such a big unit, he is also fairly agile and his already adequate ball control with only improve playing alongside his cultured Belgians partners.

He has been an ever-present in Tottenham’s Champions League campaign, stifling the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to The Guardian, Spurs broke their transfer record to sign the South American, and the £42m spent on him looks a great investment in the short and long term.
