Davinson Sanchez could come back to haunt Tottenham when they face Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Spurs will be determined to follow their victories over Manchester City and Aston Villa with a win against Galatasaray in Istanbul on 7 November.
However, one familiar face could rain on their parade by leading the Turkish giants to a win and that is Sanchez, who left North London to join the Lions last year.
Davinson Sanchez to haunt Tottenham against Galatasaray
Sanchez was not a popular figure during his time at Tottenham but has established himself as a key player for Galatasaray.
The Istanbul-based club have won all but one of their 10 games when the 28-year-old has played, with his influence evident at both ends of the pitch.
He was the star for Galatasaray as they beat bitter rivals Besiktas 2-1 in the Super Lig in their last game last Monday (28 October), netting their opener.
The Colombia international won eight of his 13 duels, recovered the ball as many times, made four clearances and won one of his two tackles (FotMob).
At the other end of the pitch, he registered three shots, of which one was on target and found the back of the net. He completed both of his dribbles, while also creating a chance.
Sanchez completed 21 of his 27 passes with 78 per cent accuracy. While that may not be impressive, his willingness to influence the attack shone through as he attempted seven long balls.
The defender’s form, coupled with his desire to prove his former employers wrong for selling him, could see Tottenham walk away from Istanbul empty.
In other Tottenham news, this former Manchester United star has emerged as a target for Spurs, with Daniel Levy set to front negotiations.
