Benjamin Pavard and Davinson Sanchez could be Tottenham Hotspur’s centre-back pairing for the next decade, if Mauricio Pochettino does bring in the Stuttgart defender this summer.

And if Tottenham do bring in Pavard, then Pochettino will have two of the best young centre-backs in the world at the club.

And if Pochettino brought Pavard to Spurs to play alongside Sanchez then their central defenders could be sorted for the next decade.
