Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez has no regrets turning down Barcelona as a teen.

By the age of just 19, Sanchez had already won seven trophies as a centre-back with Nacional. Barcelona came knocking but the level-headed teenager instead joined Ajax - a decision that would ultimately go on to benefit Spurs.

“Barcelona wanted me to play for their B team," he told the Mirror. “But I wanted to stay and win the Copa Libertadores and after that I didn't want to go down to a B team.

“I believed in my qualities and believed I could play in their first team. Ajax wanted me to be a part of their first team.

“It wasn't just Barcelona that wanted me either. When I was 17 Sevilla came for me. At 18 Valencia, at 19 Villarreal before Barcelona."
