The talented athlete has a promising future.

Prior to Ange Postecoglou’s arrival, Tottenham Hotspur did not had much luck in their manager choice in recent past.

Daniel Levy looked to José Mourinho when Mauricio Pochettino left, but it wasn’t long before it became evident that the Special One wasn’t quite so special anymore. Nunu Espírito Santo, another Portuguese coach, was brought in after Ryan Mason served as an interim coach.

Even though the former Chelsea manager did not have much success in N17, he managed to stay for at least two seasons.

Nuno, on the other hand, received his P45 after only a few terrible months on the job. While he did make one mistake during his brief term, the player he brought in has seen his value soar over the previous few years.

Spurs player Pape Matar Sarr’s career

Yes, the man in issue is Pape Matar Sarr, a midfielder from Senegal who signed with Nuno’s Lilywhites in August 2021 after leaving FC Metz, a team in Ligue 1, for approximately £15 million.

Before joining Antonio Conte’s Spurs for the 22–23 season, the then-18-year-old played the following season on loan with the French team, making 34 first-team appearances, one goal, and three assists.

Sadly, the extraordinarily gifted midfield player would not be able to make his first-team debut under the Italian’s guidance until January 1st.

Two weeks later, he would make his debut, starting at the base of midfield in the North London Derby, having come off the bench in a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.

He made 14 appearances for the senior team at the conclusion of the season, recording his first assist. Despite the club’s dismal situation following Conte’s dismissal, he provided supporters with a glimpse of hope.

Under Postecoglou’s steady guidance this season, the 21-year-old has established himself as a much more regular member of the squad. He has made 34 appearances for the Australian team, with one game remaining in the season. He has three goals and three assists in those games.

The club gave the young player a brand-new £70k-per-week deal in January that will keep him in N17 until June 2030 since they were so thrilled with his abilities.

The Thiaroye native is, so far, proving U23 scout Antonio Mango right when he says he’s “so good at football it’s frightening.”

It makes sense that the midfielder’s value has increased recently due to his exceptional play and promise; at the moment, he is valued more than a few exceptional players.
