Thrilled With Star Acquired From Tottenham Hotspur, Galatasaray

The Colombian defender was recently traded by Tottenham to Galatasaray after failing to make an impression while playing in England.

Throughout the transfer window, Sanchez attracted a lot of interest, but he didn’t sign with Galatasaray until earlier this month.

The central defender from Colombia is scheduled to return from international duty by Friday and will then fly to Istanbul.

Sanchez, one of Cim-Bom’s two purchases from Tottenham, reportedly made his club satisfied with his performances over the international break, according to Turkish newspaper Star.

A hurt Yerry Mina was replaced by Sanchez in the 23rd minute of Colombia’s match against Venezuela on Wednesday.

Galatasaray will pay Spurs £8.1 million in five installments for Sanchez.

Now it is also not clear if the ex-Spurs man will be handed his Galatasaray debut against Samsunspor on Saturday.
