“He could play in our midfield with his eyes closed.” Some Spurs fans want youngster playing now

Tottenham fans seem delighted at the prospect of watching Pape Sarr play for their club as the Senegal international turns 19.

They signed him from Metz in the last transfer window and agreed to loan him back to the Ligue 1 side for this campaign.

The midfielder is one of the more highly-rated youngsters in Europe and Tottenham has been hailed for moving fast to seal the transfer of his signature.

Nuno Espirito Santo opted for a midfield diamond that saw the likes of Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg start the game, with the result being that the team lacked creativity.
