Davinson Sanchez is now regarded as one of the most valuable defenders in world football, after his stellar showings in his first season for Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs brought in Sanchez from Ajax in a deal worth £40 million last summer.

The Colombian has immediately been given an important role for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, and he has coped well during his first season in English football.

Sanchez has looked assured at the heart of Spurs’ defence, and at the age of 21, he still has plenty of time to develop.

Sanchez’s value has now sky rocketed, and CIES Football Observatory claim he is worth £74 million.

The Football Observatory collate data on performance and reputation to create a value for every player across Europe.

Sanchez is now ranked among the elite of defenders across the world.

Of course, there is no suggestion that Tottenham have any interest in selling Sanchez.

But the centre-back’s increasing price-tag is further proof of just how well he has performed in his first term in England, and Spurs should feel his transfer has become a bargain for them in under 12 months.
