Reports on Wednesday suggested Spurs were struggling to agree a fee with Ajax, with Sanchez later being named in the Dutch side’s Europa League squad to face Rosenborg.

But with a breakthrough in negotations, Sanchez has since been removed from the 18-man squad as he prepares to complete his switch to north London.
