Tottenham Hotspur are close to completing their first signing of the transfer window after agreeing a deal for Ajax Amsterdam centre back Davinson Sanchez, according to multiple British media reports.

Tottenham were likely to pay a club record fee of 42 million pounds ($54.2 million) for the 21-year-old, who scored six goals in 32 league appearances for Ajax last season and received the club’s player of the year award, the reports said.
