Davinson Sanchez has won a lot of plaudits since becoming Tottenham Hotspur’s record signing back in August for £42 million.
The Colombian has embraced the challenge of the Premier League and was outstanding against Arsenal at the weekend in a 1-0 win.
But there have been a couple of shaky moments too, the game at Swansea for instance; and last night in the Champions League he looked nervous against Juventus.
It did not help him playing alongside right-back Serge Aurier, who had a terrible game and gave away a penalty.
