Davinson Sanchez’s future with Tottenham was on hold for much of last season. With Mourihno he was relegated and with Ryan Mason he had no major action until the end of the season, showing a lack of pace and minutes of competition. Faced with this situation, the Spurs considered selling it, even having it as a currency, by one of those who finally arrived in transfer, the Argentine Cristian Romero.
According to journalist Felip Serra, Tottenham have informed the Colombian defender that they will not sell him. And is that the idea, from the beginning, was to agree to hear offers by the player, according to the concept of previous coaches.

However, with the arrival of Nuno Espírito Santo, as the new coach of Tottenham, the same strategist requested “especially” the continuity of Sanchez in the London squad. In the game that the Spurs beat Manchester City, the Colombian had an outstanding performance, being fundamental in the defensive game, against the attacks of Guardiola and the idea of protecting and caring for the result.
