Liverpool have been linked with a surprise move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez by Spanish publication Fichajes.
The report claimed that the Reds are among a number of clubs eyeing up a move for Sanchez as the centre-back struggles to break into the Londoners’ first-choice XI.
AC Milan, Juventus, and Jurgen Klopp‘s former club Borussia Dortmund are all credited with an interest in the 24-year-old, although no club has made their interest public as of yet.
The Colombia international has a market value of £40.5m according to Transfermarkt but has only sporadically been used by Jose Mourinho this season.
In fact, when Toby Alderweireld was sidelined recently, Sanchez was overlooked in favour of a full Premier League debut for Joe Rodon – leading to speculation over his immediate future in north London.
The 6’1 defender was a club-record signing when he arrived at Spurs from Ajax in 2017 and was described as a ‘beast’ by then-manager Mauricio Pochettino, with his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium lasting until 2023.

It is perhaps to be expected Liverpool will be linked with any and all potentially unhappy centre-backsas the January window approaches, given the long-term injury absences of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
However, with the two sides currently level on points at the top of the table before they face off at Anfield next week, it seems unrealistic that Mourinho would sell any of his players to a team who would be considered a major title rival.
Moreover, despite his defensive qualities, Sanchez has never been far away from a mistake during his career at Tottenham.
Having shipped another error-prone defender off their books in the summer in Dejan Lovren, Klopp would be surely reluctant to sign another so soon after.
