It turns out that Davinson Sanchez could soon find himself back in the Premier League, two years on from swapping Tottenham Hotspur for Galatasaray, with one English club now showing keen interest in the former Spurs man.
Sanchez initially joined Tottenham Hotspur in a £42m deal from Ajax back in 2017, and the centre-back spent six years at the North London club, making a total of 207 appearances for the Lilywhites.
While the Colombian initially showed a lot of promise, he never truly managed to establish himself as one of the club’s important players and was eventually sold to Galatasaray in 2023.
The 28-year-old has been nearly flawless for the Turkish giants over the last two years, emerging as a leader at the back for the club and playing a key role in their Super Lig win last season and their outstanding title defence so far this campaign.
Tottenham could face Davinson Sanchez again next season
A report in the print edition of the Turkish newspaper Sabah (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now suggested that the centre-back could be set for a shock return to the Premier League this summer.
The report says that Everton are keen on adding to their defensive stocks this summer and have set their sights on Sanchez.
The outlet does not provide any detail on the fee that the Toffees would have to pay to sign the former Spurs man, but it is said that the Merseyside club have already made a contract offer to the centre-back.

However, there is thought to be confidence at Galatasaray that they can hold onto their star defender despite Everton’s interest.
Sanchez compared to Virgil van Dijk in Turkey
The former Tottenham defender has been so dominating and consistent in the Super Lig that some rather outlandish statements have been made about him over the last month.
One pundit insisted earlier this season that Sanchez is better than Virgil van Dijk, which is an opinion that Spurs fans might find it hard to get their heads around.
