Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make Davinson Sanchez available in the January transfer window as they look to raise funds for new boss Antonio Conte, according to a report from The Times.

Spurs have put a lot of their rivals on alert by landing Conte. The Italian has come in following the decision to part ways with Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Times reports that he has his sights set on a busy winter window. In fact, it is claimed that he wants up to four new signings.

Of course, that comes after an incredibly eventful summer in North London. Fabio Paratici oversaw the arrivals of a number of players.

So unsurprisingly, the club will look to generate funds by selling some of those within the current squad.

And The Times claims that one of those who is available is Sanchez. The Colombian has been an unused substitute in Tottenham’s last four Premier League games.

Tottenham make intriguing decision making Sanchez available in January

It may surprise some to see Sanchez made available. Admittedly, The Times highlights that Spurs were open to a sale in the summer.

But he started the campaign in impressive form. Plenty of supporters were blown away by his performance against Manchester City on the opening day.

And Conte has tended to prefer a back three system. And with that, some may have expected Spurs to keep all of their centre-back options beyond January.

However, Sanchez is reportedly available. And that may be a boost for players such as Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon.

Selling him may not be easy. Tottenham spent £42 million to bring him to England. And clubs appear to be a lot more reluctant to part with significant sums in January.

But Paratici has shown that he can offload fringe players already in his time at Tottenham. So a departure in a couple of months certainly cannot be ruled out.
