Tottenham are closing on an agreement to sign Davinson Sanchez from Ajax in a deal that could be worth up to £42million.

Tottenham have offered an initial £28million with a potential £14m to follow in add-ons. The clubs remain in talks over the structure of those payments.

Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars said: 'There's no agreement on Sanchez yet, but a lot can happen in a day or even a few hours. We're still talking.'

Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez is edging closer to sealing a move to Tottenham this summer

Tottenham made their opening offer on Monday and the 21-year-old is ready to agree terms on a five year contract after underlining his desire to move to the Premier League.

The Colombian was an outstanding performer for the Dutch club last season and has attracted interest across Europe with Inter Milan and Barcelona both monitoring the player.

Sanchez is likely to replace Kevin Wimmer who is poised to join West Bromwich Albion next week.

The Baggies' move for the Austrian comes after Manchester City stepped up their interest in Jonny Evans, but Sportsmail understands that Tony Pulis is interested in signing the 23-year-old regardless of whether Evans remains at The Hawthorns.

West Brom could take Kevin Wimmer away from White Hart Lane making space for Sanchez

Southampton are reportedly close to signing Dutch defender Wesley Hoedt, 23, from Lazio

Southampton were among the clubs who have an interest in Wimmer, but Mauricio Pellegrino are now understood to be closing in on the capture of Holland defender Wesley Hoedt from Lazio.

Virgil van Dijk continues to train away from the first-team squad and will not be available against West Ham this weekend at St Mary's.

Pellegrino revealed that the Dutch defender no longer has a virus but said: 'The situation is the same as last week. I have nothing more to say.'
