Davinson Sanchez impressed again for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Speaking to Football London, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has praised Davinson Sanchez.
Spurs beat Newcastle 1-0 at Wembley this afternoon to move second in the Premier League table.
Son Heung-min will invariably get much of the headlines after it was his 83rd-minute winner which stole all three points for Tottenham.
But there were many excellent stand-out performances, and Sanchez’s display was one of them.
The Colombian centre-back has struggled against former West Brom-owned Salomon Rondon in the past, but Sanchez bossed his man for 90 minutes this afternoon and here is how Pochettino reacted.
“I think Davinson was fantastic. He is doing so well, this is his the second season and he is still so young. Today he was very good,” he told Football London.
Sanchez, who joined Spurs from Ajax 18 months ago, cost around £42 million [The Guardian] – but it was an absolute snip of a deal.
This is a player who doesn’t turn 23 until June, illustrating that he has a very, very bright future ahead of him.
He missed a lot of football earlier in the season through injury, but he’s making up for it now.
