[마이데일리 = 최병진 기자] Tottenham has signed a new contract with Pape Sar (21).
Tottenham said on the club’s official website on the 2nd (Korean time), “We are pleased to announce that Sarr has signed a new contract with the club until 2030. Senegal national team member Tin Sarr is playing a key role under coach Anger Postecoglou.”
Sarr has been attracting attention since childhood and wore a Tottenham uniform in 2021. Tottenham sent Sarr back on loan to Metz for the remainder of the season to further his development. He returned the following season, but Sarr only started twice in the league, behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancourt.
But things have changed this season. Newly appointed manager Postekoglou formed a midfield centered around Sarr and Yves Bissouma, rather than existing resources. The midfield attack power was strengthened by deploying two players with excellent mobility and forward ability.
Sarr has perfectly established himself as a key player. He has appeared in 18 of 20 league games this season, 16 of them as a starter. He earned his starting spot thanks to his stable offensive development and his upgraded kicking ability.
Coach Postekoglou also said, “Sar can play the number 6, 8, and 10 roles in the midfield area. Sometimes sidebacks are also possible. “It’s a very outstanding ability,” he praised. Tottenham fans are delighted with Sarr’s performance and are calling him ‘Tottenham’s Jude Bellingham’.
Sarr is also famous as Son Heung-min’s ‘attachment doll’. He received attention when he was seen on social media frequently joking around with Son Heung-min.
Sarr started and scored the first goal in the last match against Bournemouth. However, he suffered a hamstring injury and shed tears in the arms of Son Heung-min while being replaced. This is unwelcome injury news for Tottenham.
Tottenham prepared for the future by securing key players who will lead the team’s midfield in the long term.
