Davinson Sanchez to QUIT Tottenham and could be followed out the door by Mourinho and Conte favourite
DAVINSON SANCHEZ allegedly wants to QUIT Tottenham and talks have already begun over his exit.
The Colombian defender, 26, joined from Ajax in 2017 for £42million and has played over 200 times for the club.
But he was largely overlooked last term and he felt the wrath of supporters numerous times after some dodgy displays.
Tottenham fans booed Sanchez in the 3-2 loss to Bournemouth.
Sanchez came on in the 35th minute for the injured Clement Lenglet but his mistake led to Dominic Solanke putting the Cherries’ 2-1 ahead on 51 minutes.
The Colombian was booed with his every touch afterwards and as he was brought off just before the hour as Spurs chased the game.
And he also went viral for all the wrong reasons after a disastrous “thin air” tackle during the FA Cup defeat at Sheffield United.
Now Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the South American, who only has a year left on his deal, wants out of North London.
He tweeted: “Davinson Sanchez has decided to leave Tottenham this summer.
“Discussions will take place to find new club as he wants a new experience.”

Meanwhile, we also revealed that the future for midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is looking uncertain.
The 27-year-old midfielder has been an ever-present for Spurs since he joined from Southampton for £15m back in 2020.
The Dane has featured for a succession of managers and was a trusted lieutenant for both Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
But the club have a wealth of options in midfield and both Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp are of a similar mould.
New boss Ange Postecoglou is allegedly looking to add some more creativity into the middle and prefers to play with just one player holding and deploying two attackers instead.
And the prospect of selling Hojbjerg could raise extra funds to bring in new faces – and the Scandinavian is already attracting interest from Bayern Munich.
German journalist Christian Falk claims it is “true” that “Bayern discussed a transfer of Pierre Emile Hojbjerg” and they are plotting a swoop for their former player.
Hojbjerg, who is under contract until 2025, joined Bayern from Brondby in 2012 but he struggled to make an impact in the Bundesliga.
He only played 17 times in the top-flight for the club, but after shining on loan at both Augsburg and Schalke, he was snapped up by the Saints and brought to England in 2016.
