'Excellent' Tottenham Star Must Start First PL Match in Two Months

Tottenham Star Deserves Starting Spot

Tottenham Hotspur starlet Pape Matar Sarr impressed in his cameo appearance against Manchester City and should start the first Premier League match against Brentford. The Senegalese midfielder did not start any of Spurs' first 16 league matches following his summer move from French side Metz and has only featured in five games off the bench. However, his performance against City saw him draw plaudits from manager Antonio Conte, who said he has been "excellent" in training.

Sarr Deserves Chance to Start

Sarr was given a chance to impress against City and he did not disappoint. He came on with 12 minutes remaining in the match and composed himself well. Sarr's confidence grew as the game progressed and he began to show his range of skills. He is comfortable with the ball at his feet and has the vision to pick out his teammates in dangerous areas. Conte praised Sarr's contribution after the game, saying: "He played with personality. He is a young player but he is showing great technical quality and good personality."

Sarr Provides Creativity and Energy

Sarr has shown that he can provide creativity and energy to Tottenham’s midfield, two qualities that have been missing at times this season. He is a good passer of the ball and has the ability to drive forward with it. He also has a good engine and can cover a lot of ground. Conte has been looking for a player who can add some creativity to his midfield and Sarr could be the answer.

Sarr Set to Start Against Brentford

With Yves Bissouma injured, Sarr is the most likely candidate to start against Brentford. He has impressed Conte in training and deserves a chance to show what he can do in the Premier League. Sarr is a talented young player with a bright future. He has the potential to be a key player for Tottenham and could make his Premier League debut against Brentford.
