Having made it clear Tottenham need to get rid of players before they can bring new ones in, Davinson Sánchez is one of the likelier squad members to be dispatched.
The Colombian was already close to leaving for Spartak Moscow at one point this window, but that fell through, meaning he is still working under Ange Postecoglou for the time being.
That might not be the case for long, however, as Foot Mercato are reporting that Rennes are ‘accelerating’ on the idea of signing the Tottenham player.
This comes after RB Leipzig made an offer of a loan with a compulsory option to buy of around €30m for Arthur Theate, meaning they would need a replacement for the Belgian.
It’s added the Ligue 1 side will likely reply to them this week, but are ‘working behind the scenes’ to find him a successor.
This is where the Tottenham defender comes in, as he has been offered ‘multiple times’ to the French club in the past over the past few months.
He is now considered a ‘serious option’ by Florian Maurice, the director of football, and Spurs would be asking for a fee between €10-12m to let him go.
This could be the one for Tottenham, but they would also need Theate to go first.
