Ian Wright has suggested in The Sun that he is still not convinced by Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez.

The Arsenal legend has also suggested that Spurs defender Serge Aurier has not yet proved himself in the Premier League.

Sanchez, who is 21 years of age and operates as a central defender, joined Tottenham from Dutch club Ajax in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £40 million.

Serge Aurier of Tottenham is dismissed during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur at London Stadium on September 23, 2017 in London, England.

Aurier is 25 years of age and plays as a right-back, and the Ivory Coast international moved to Spurs from French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £23m.

Former Arsenal striker Wright has suggested that Sanchez and Aurier have yet to prove themselves in the Premier League.

Wright wrote in The Sun: “How Pochettino must regret not putting out his strongest team in the Carabao Cup against West Ham.

“Plus Davinson Sanchez still has to prove himself in this league, along with Serge Aurier.”

Sanchez and Aurier have not exactly been great for Tottenham so far this season, but the two defenders have done relatively well, and their performances have been encouraging.

Moreover, Sanchez is 21 years of age, and the Colombia international was signed by Tottenham in the summer of 2017 to be a success in the long run.
