‘I like the way he plays’: Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr hails teammate as the top five in the world in his position
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr believes one teammate is the top five in the world in his position.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for an important second season following a good inaugural year that was somewhat hampered by injuries to important players.
Archie Gray, a midfielder for Leeds United, was acquired by the Lilywhites this summer, but Postecoglou’s team may find success by sticking with existing members.
Under the guidance of the Australian, Senegalese midfielder Patrice Matar Sarr made significant progress, and he has shown gratitude towards a crucial defender.
Matar Sarr hails Pedro Porro as the top five in his position
Another player who made a big impact for Postecoglou’s side last season was Argentine right-back Pedro Porro who nailed down a starting spot under the Australian.
Porro played in 35 Premier League appearances for Spurs during the previous campaign, contributing seven assists and three goals as he established himself as a vital offensive weapon under the Australian coach.
The Senegalese midfielder was eager to compliment the right-back and his value to the team in an interview with SpursPlay. In addition, Sarr stated something rather audacious regarding the defender.
Sarr commented, “He has a lot of energy,” on the Tottenham website. “I think he’s one of the top 5 right backs in the world and I like the way he plays.”
The Argentine right-back has always been a favorite of Postecoglou’s; last season, he called the defender “unbelievable.”
Porro has made the right-back spot his own
The performances of Porro have been so impressive that this has led to Emerson Royal to consider his future in North London.
Royal urged Tottenham to allow him to leave the club this summer with HITC reporting that AC Milan are keen on the Brazilian.
With Porro showing no signs of his performances dipping, as well as being the undisputed first choice option for the club, Royal may well have to depart to get first team football next season.
