The Ajax defender has been linked with a move to North London as Mauricio Pochettino looks to make his first signing of the summer.

The club’s lack of transfer activity was slammed by left-back Danny Rose, who demanded to see new faces that were well known and you didn’t have to “google”.

It’s unlikely he’ll be pleased with the reported interest in Sanchez, who is hardly a household name.

But video shows why Pochettino is so interested in the 21-year-old.

The centre-half has fantastic positioning and awareness to be int he right place at the right time to intercept passes.

He also has the pace to get back and make last-ditch tackles.

But he also is a ball-player, something the Argentinian is keen on, and footage shows him launching attacks from the back with his distribution.

It is believed Spurs have bid £20m for the Colombian and according to The People he has downed tools in order to force a move.

Dutch sources have informed Starsport that Ajax were prepared to sell him for £22.6m.

But with the transfer market over heating across Europe, Ajax could now demand £35m.
