Tottenham are launching a bid for Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez.
The Daily Mail says the 21-year-old Colombia defender was left out of the Dutch club's squad to face Heracles on Saturday night after telling coaching staff he was not in the right frame of mind to play.
Ajax have offered Sanchez an improved contract, but he has set his sights on a move to Tottenham, who are poised to open the bidding with a £28million offer.
Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid have also made enquiries about the £40 million-rated Sanchez but Tottenham's intent and the prospect of playing under Mauricio Pochettino has convinced him it is the right move for the next stage in his career.
