Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly identified Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez as one of his top transfer targets.

Outside of offloading Kyle Walker to Manchester City for more than £50 million, the north London side has been relatively quiet this summer.

But Pochettino appears eager to add to his squad as he looks to possibly spend a club-record fee for the 21-year-old centre-back, according to Simon Stone of the BBC.

It's believed that Ajax is only willing to part ways with Sanchez if Tottenham offers a sum worth more than £30 million.

Tottenham surpassed its previous transfer record in 2016 when Moussa Sissoko arrived at White Hart Lane from Newcastle in a deal that was reportedly worth £31.5 million.

Along with featuring in the Europa League final against Manchester United last term, Sanchez, who arrived at Ajax last summer for £3.8 million, scored six goals during 32 Eredivisie appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.
