Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly hoping to snap up Ajax centre-back Davinson Sanchez for £40 million "before the end of the week."
According to Gary Jacob in The Times, Ajax do not want to sell the 21-year-old but have been in discussions with Spurs over a deal worth £27 million—and £13 million in add-ons—after initially rejecting a bid worth £35 million.
Jacob added that Sanchez has told the Eredivisie outfit he wants to leave for Tottenham, which will likely be a key factor in the deal being completed.
Per De Telegraaf (via football writer Kristof Terreur), Ajax are holding out for more money for one of their most sought-after players, but it looks as though he will eventually sign a five-year deal with Spurs:
