Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to some quotes from Ledley King regarding Davinson Sanchez.
The former Tottenham defender was recently appointed as a coach at the North London club, and it seems as if he has high hopes for Spurs’ Colombian centre-back. The 40-year-old spoke to Talking THFC for TalkSPORT, saying (via Last Word On Spurs):
”Davinson I would say is the player most like me in terms of style, so if I can help him further himself, that would be great.”
”Working with the likes of Japhet [Tanganga] and Davinson is now very exciting.”
If Sanchez can go on to have the same sort of impact that King did during his time with the north London club – with the former England international making 323 appearances for Spurs, before injuries forced him into early retirement – then the former Ajax man will no doubt prove to be very popular amongst Lilywhites supporters.
Do you think Sanchez can become as good as King was?
Yes
No

Very big talent, excellent at Ajax, just needs some time to get the routine and smartness. Still have hopes he will be the New king

Time for Davinson to step up another level. Solid defender needs to play the ball better teams are happy to let him have it as not strongest part of his game

Lots of Spurs fans seem to be hoping that King can help unlock Sanchez’s potential.
Good to see Ledley has the same opinion as me of Sanchez I really do rate him highly although I know a lot of fans don’t share my opinion but hopefully working with Ledley will get the best out of him
