The Tottenham midfield pecking order could very well be about to change after Pape Matar Sarr's recent rise. Heading back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer after spending last campaign on loan with former club Metz, the Senegal international very much had a watching brief in the opening months of the season with no playing time coming his way.
In fact, the first real chance Tottenham fans got to take a good look at the player was in Senegal's World Cup Round of 16 clash against England as he was introduced for the second 45 minutes. Impressing in that game and doing likewise at Hotspur Way following his return from Qatar, Antonio Conte has rewarded the player with pitch time.
Catching in the eye in the recent friendly against Nice, Sarr looked right at home last Sunday when he was introduced for the final 10 minutes against Aston Villa and then three days later away at Crystal Palace.
