Davinson Sanchez: Leaving Tottenham was never an option for me

The 24-year-old defender wound up out of

Jose Mourinho

's Premier League group during the pre-winter, not including in October, and the end of December list and reports proposed he would be looking to leave if the circumstance didn't improve. 

Notwithstanding, Sanchez realized his chance would come back again, and he was right. The Colombian started in the last seven

games with a solid performance in the backline. 

Asked whether leaving Spurs crossed his mind in the January transfer window, he answered:

"Never! Never! Football is that way and it gives you the chance to bounce back in these situations.

"That's what happened. Also I didn't think that I had to play because I was playing before. No, no, I never said that.

"We all have that moment. You just have to be helpful and supportive and of course knowing that when I am recalled I'll get back at my best so the team is going to be there for me too.

"I can't expect that the team will be losing because I wasn't playing. That's never come from me."

Sanchez's break of the team and his first kid's birth happened together; however, he says that didn't influence him by any means.

“I’ve been training, I’ve been preparing myself and involved in the team also,” he said. “So for me nothing changed. Of course the baby came, which is good.

“I’ve been talking with the manager and my team-mates also, which was very good for me during that period when I was not playing often.

“You’re part of the team and you just need to accept that in the moment you need to work to get back in the team and be back involved with everybody and keep pushing yourself.

“So for me it was a good time anyway because I just realised I could be even happier.”
