Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Ajax over Davinson Sanchez. 

Spurs sold Kyle Walker to Manchester City for £50 million and need to reinforce their back line. Sanchez is viewed as a perfect complement to Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen in Mauricio Pochettino's back three.

Tottenham officials are believed to have travelled to Amsterdam on Monday to continue negotiations, with Ajax holding out for a fee close to €40 million ($47 million) given that Sánchez still has four years of his contract to run.
