TOTTENHAM are closing in on the signing of Ajax centre-back Davinson Sanchez after agreeing a deal with the Dutch club.
The 21-year-old Colombian has been chased by Spurs all summer, and could be set to link up with the Premier League side in a transfer rising to £40million.
According to the , the defender could arrive in England tonight to become the North London club's first major summer signing.
SunSport revealed earlier this week that Sanchez told the Eredivisie giants that he wanted to move to Spurs - who look set to spend the £50m they received when they sold Kyle Walker to Manchester City.
He was left out of the opening day defeat to Hercules, and is now poised to become the Lilywhites' all-time record signing.
Ajax were reported to be demanding an initial payment of £27m, with the proposed deal delayed due to the debate over the exact structure of the payments.
However that looks to be resolved, as Sanchez would become the latest Ajax player to make the move to Maurcio Pochettino's side.
Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld have all donned the famous jersey of de Godenzonen.
