The Athletic says that Davinson Sanchez is considering leaving Tottenham next month after he lost his place in the team.
The Colombian has become the latest victim of Jose Mourinho’s desire to have only players that will be at their best all the time.
He was the first choice centre-back partner of Eric Dier at the start of the season, but he eventually lost his place because of some sloppy displays.
He is now even below Joe Rodon in the pecking order at Spurs, and understandably unhappy.
Next month presents him with another chance to leave the club and the report says he has now made himself open to leaving.
Spurs will hardly want to sell him in January, but the report says he wants to play regularly, and he is currently on the lookout for a better opportunity. If one arises, he will ask to leave.
Spurs will, however, want a replacement before they can sanction his move away from north London with the team looking to challenge for trophies this season.
When Spurs signed Sanchez in 2017, they expected him to develop into one of the finest defenders in Europe, but he hasn’t reached the heights they thought he would, and he might be sold off at the end of this season.
