Alasdair Gold has revealed that Ange Postecoglou is a huge fan of Pape Sarr, who the Australian views as someone who can be moulded into a top-class player at Tottenham over the coming years.
Tottenham Hotspur have been plagued by a number of problems over the course of the season, including their injury crisis and their lack of creativity in the final third.
Another under-discussed problem has been their issues in the middle of the park, where Yves Bissouma has had a poor season while Rodrigo Bentancur has struggled for consistency.
However, quietly, Pape Sarr has been having an impressive season, with the 22-year-old having added new strings to his bow.
One of them is the impact he has had in the final third with his late runs from midfield, with his strike against Bournemouth now taking his goal tally to six so far this campaign.
Ange Postecoglou sees Sarr as a talented blank canvas
Gold has now revealed that the Tottenham head coach took a liking to the Senegal international as soon he walked through the door at Hotspur Way back in 2023.
The journalist suggested that the former Metz man is viewed by Postecoglou and his coaching staff as someone who can be moulded to fit different requirements in midfield, given his all-around game.
