According to El Gol Digital, Tottenham are trying to sell Davinson Sanchez, with Sevilla interested in bringing him to La Liga.

The Spanish news outlet claim that Spurs are ‘laying a path’ to get the 28-cap Colombia international out of the club.

El Gol Digital add that it is ‘clear’ Sanchez will be departing Tottenham.

Sevilla, who are expecting to lose the highly-rated Jules Kounde, plan to reinvest the funds made through his sale into the ex-Ajax man.

El Gol Digital claim that Sevilla plan to submit a bid worth €40 million (£34.2 million).

It was Mauricio Pochettino who brought Sanchez to Tottenham back in 2017 for £42 million, in what was a club-record deal at the time.

However, the 24-year-old hasn’t really developed as expected at Spurs, and has found himself out of the starting XI quite often under Jose Mourinho this season.

In that respect, if Sevilla do offer £34.2 million, Tottenham would be silly to reject it.

That amount of money could then be invested in other areas of Mourinho’s squad, while a replacement wouldn’t be necessary with Joe Rodon waiting in the wings.

In total, Sanchez has made 145 appearances for Tottenham, scoring three goals.

He can be a colossus on his day, but in our view, it doesn’t feel as if Mourinho is his biggest fan.
