Pape Matar Sarr showed a glimpse of just what he can offer Tottenham in the future on Sunday evening. Yet to make an appearance for the Lilywhites since his move from Metz in August 2021, England's World Cup Round of 16 showdown vs Senegal allowed Spurs fans the opportunity to finally cast their eye over the highly-rated midfielder.
Coming off the substitutes' bench for 13 minutes in their second Group A game against Qatar, Sarr was given more of a chance to show what he's all about following his half-time introduction with England two goals to the good. Always looking likely to feature in the contest with Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye suspended for the knockout tie, Harry Kane was asked about what his Tottenham teammate could offer Senegal ahead of the game.
"Pape has come into the team, he hasn’t quite found himself playing a lot of games, yet," said the Three Lions captain on the eve of the clash. "But, from what I see in training, he’s a really talented player. Quite quiet in terms of personality, he just gets on with training and his job.
