Tottenham Hotspur continued their impressive run of form with a last-gasp 1-0 victory over West Brom on Sunday afternoon.

And Jose Mourinho's team selection provided some clues into the future of one Spurs outcast.

The Special One opted for what appears to be his first-choice centre-back pairing, Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld, once again but named young summer arrival Joe Rodon on the bench as their back-up instead of Davinson Sanchez.

In fact, the 24-year-old - who was signed by Mauricio Pochettino for £42m in 2017 - was left out of a Premier League matchday squad for the third successive game.

Sanchez has featured just four times in the top-flight and has been axed since the dramatic 3-3 draw to West Ham United, a game in which the north Londoners should've won.

It was expected that Mourinho altered his backline having played their last few matches with the same duo, though evidently, he's had enough with the error-prone Sanchez.

In the past, the Colombian has been lambasted as a "liability" with some supporters calling him a "clown" too.

Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has even dubbed Sanchez a "mistake waiting to happen" - something even Mourinho know all too well having instructed his Manchester United side to target him whilst at Ajax during their Europa League triumph in 2017.

Now valued at just £40.5m by Transfermarkt, it appears that the Pochettino favourite is quickly running out of time to salvage his career in N17.

It's not like he has impressed whenever he's featured this term either, averaging just 1.8 tackles and one foul per game, across both domestic and European competitions, via WhoScored.

The departure of long-serving central defender Jan Vertonghen should have opened the door for Sanchez to finally kick on and cement his name down as that first choice option but that hasn't been the case.

A 23-year-old with no top-flight experience, a midfielder-turned-defender and an ageing star who's the wrong side of 30 are all ahead of him in the pecking order.

That snub on Sunday could be the final nail in the coffin for his future.
