The Guardian have revealed that the Premier League are strongly discouraging Tottenham from doing business with Russian clubs after it emerged that the North Londoners had accepted Spartak Moscow’s offer for Davinson Sanchez.
Earlier this week, we relayed an update from The Times which claimed that Spurs had accepted a bid worth €15m (£13m) offer from Spartak for Sanchez.
The report revealed that even though the centre-back is also on the radar of Real Betis, Sevilla and Galatasaray, it was the side from the Russian Premier League who made the biggest bid.
However, The Athletic revealed on Tuesday that Sanchez is having reservations about making the move to Spartak.

Thankfully, it appears as of Sanchez himself is set to turn down the opportunity to move to Spartak, which is not surprising, given that the likes of Sevilla and Real Betis are allegedly eyeing the defender.
