Tottenham boss Pochettino: Sanchez has amazing history

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is confident Davinson Sanchez can handle the step up to the Premier League.

Sanchez arrived this week from Ajax.

"I think he's young, but he won the Copa Libertadores with his team in Colombia," Pochettino said.

"He played regularly at Ajax. Played the final against Manchester United. I think he's young but with amazing history and background. I like his personality and how he is aggressive, he is fast, he will fit for us very well.

"He is so aggressive, so fast. It's true that when there was the possibility to sign him, (there was an) advantage, because he wanted to move and to play for Tottenham. Davinson is with us because a lot of clubs were interested in him but he decided to join us."
