Pape Matar Sarr may have only spent just over a month with his Tottenham teammates but he has clearly made a big impression at Hotspur Way. Signed from French side Metz last August by Fabio Paratici, it was decided that the Senegal international would return to the Ligue 1 club on loan for the season to help his development.
Starting the season in the Metz team, the 19-year-old, who played in a variety of different roles in midfield, later found himself in and out of the XI before his Tottenham return. Now with the Spurs squad after not training with them 12 months ago after heading straight back out of the door, Antonio Conte has a decision to make in the next fortnight regarding whether Sarr departs on loan again or remains part of his 2022/23 plans.
Playing in both of Tottenham's friendlies on their summer tour of South Korea, Sarr then featured in the 2-1 win at Rangers but was an unused substitute a week later in their final pre-season game against Roma. In contention for a place in the Tottenham squad on the opening day against Southampton amid doubts over Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp absent through injury, the Senegalese player unfortunately missed out.
