Mauricio Pochettino backs club-record signing Davinson Sanchez to be a hit at Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino has backed Tottenham's club-record signing Davinson Sanchez to prove a hit in England after seeing much of himself in the Colombia international.

The 21-year-old completed his switch from Ajax on Wednesday for a fee reported to be in the region of £42million.

Sanchez, who played against Manchester United in the Europa League final last season, could make his Tottenham debut against Burnley at Wembley this weekend if he receives his work permit in time.

Having come through the ranks at Atletico Nacional in his native Colombia, Sanchez spent just one season in the Eredivisie before completing his move to England.
