Recently, the agency FV Players, representing the interests of Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez, told Russian outlet Sport Express that Spartak is really interested in the Tottenham defender, but so far there has been nothing concrete. However, this does indicate dialogue and so there is certainly still hope, at this stage. FC Spartak Moscow is, after all, owned by Russian billionaires, Vagit Alekperov and Leonid Fedun.
The Colombian was booed and tormented with ironic cheers by his own supporters during a home defeat to Bournemouth, back in April. Spurs lost 2-3 to the visitors, and it was Davinson that took the brunt of the heat.
I take the view that this is never a pretty thing to watch, nor does it help the rest of the team. That said, there are lines that are drawn, and it now makes sense to move Sanchez on. Regrettably, the player has never lived up to his £42 million price tag, and if we have learned anything watching Spurs over the years, nothing benefits this club by having underperforming players on the books; they don’t improve.
Tottenham off the pitch, needs to convert what appears to look like half chances, as if they were opportunities on the pitch. As with so many transfers in recent years, this is just another piece of bad judgment that must be reversed, even if it is at a cost.
A move to Russia could prove useful for Davinson, and allow the man to reconnect with the game. The Russian Premier Liga is a big division but comes without the unforgiving glare of England’s top flight.
