Ex-Colombia coach Jorge Luis Pinto has slammed Davinson Sanchez, insisting the Tottenham defender 'lacks talent'.

Sanchez is a regular for Colombia's national team, having accumulated 43 caps at the age of 25.

Pinto told ESPN F90 via Marca: "Four years ago, I told my son, who loves football, that Davinson is not a centre-back for the Colombia national team.

"With all the respect that Davinson deserves, he is a healthy, correct, hardworking man and everything, but he doesn't have the talent, the playing time, all those details that a centre-back needs.

"The time of play, the handling of game intent, the handling of backs, the defensive breakdowns, the shock impact that sometimes you can't be so aggressive."
