Chelsea out to hijack Tottenham move for £40m-rated ace, Spurs £12m short of valuation
Chelsea and Real Madrid are reportedly trying to beat Tottenham to the signing of Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez, who is said to be valued at £40m by the Dutch giants.
The 21-year-old was dropped at the weekend after informing the coaching staff that he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to feature, but Ajax remain keen to keep him and sign him to a new long-term contract.
However, as per The Daily Mail, Tottenham are expected to hold talks with the Eredivisie outfit on Monday, initially proposing £28m which is way short of the club’s reported £40m valuation of the talented young defender.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are specifically mentioned in the report as trying to hijack the Tottenham move and are lining up counter bids which could surpass what Spurs are willing to put on the table.
