On the official website of London's "Tottenham" it was announced that their team's jersey will be worn from today by 21-year-old Colombian national team center-back Davinson Sanchez.
The Colombian, who had a very successful season last year at Amsterdam's "Ajax" club, was linked with "Tottenham" all summer. Today, the deal was officially confirmed, and "Spurs" set a record amount for the club.
It is reported that a sum of £42 million was paid for one of the most promising defenders on the planet. The player himself signed a contract valid until 2023.
D. Sanchez played only one season in the "Ajax" team, when he left his homeland last summer and arrived in Europe for the first time. In total, D. Sanchez managed to play 45 matches and score seven goals within the Dutch team.
For the "Tottenham" team, this defender was only the second newcomer this summer - today it was also announced about the arrival of goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
