‘Maybe there’s a decision to take’ – 26-yr-old Spurs ace hints at potential exit

By Saikat -

Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez has now hinted at a potential exit from the club at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old Colombian international has been a squad player for Tottenham this season and he has started just 6 games in the Premier League for Antonio Conte this season.

The former Ajax defender needs to play more regularly at this stage of his career and he could look to leave the club at the end of the season if things do not change in his favour.

Speaking to Evening Standard, the 26-year-old defender revealed that it has been frustrating for him and it is hard to sit on the bench as an international player.

The defender further stated that he will wait for his chance and that he is ready to show the manager that he deserves to play week in and week out.

Sanchez also added that he is professional enough to deal with the situation and he will only make a decision regarding his future at the end of the season.

“Definitely [it has been a frustrating period]. As a player, especially at my age and knowing that I’m very capable to play in this team, I think when no game time comes it’s very hard. You’re an international player as well, and looking at that situation. You don’t want to disappear out of football.

“But I’m still here, I’m still competitive and I’m still showing I’m ready to play. If the manager says I deserve it, I will. If not, I’ll wait for my moment, and then maybe there’s a decision to take. I have to show that I’m professional enough to face this situation.”

Sanchez joined Tottenham for a fee of around £40 million in 2017 and he was expected to develop into one of the best defenders in world football. After impressing at the London club initially, the Colombian has lost his first team berth and his development has stalled over the past year.

It is evident that he needs to play regularly in order to fulfill his potential and Tottenham might not be able to provide him with that opportunity.
