Kanchelskis backing Spartak Moscow move for Tottenham defender Sanchez

Former Russia star Andrei Kanchelskis is backing Spartak Moscow's move for Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez.

The Colombia international's management team has confirmed contact with Spartak.

And Kanchelskis told Sport-Express: "If the red-whites want to compete with Zenit, then they need such a player.

"Is it worth paying 15 million euros for him? If Spartak has money, let them pay. Zenit takes players, it has funding.

"If they want, let them take him."
