Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is looking to strengthen his African contingent with two new signings in the upcoming transfer windows. Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, current stars at Spurs, have been nominated for the African Player of the Year award, and there are rumors that other players on the shortlist might be on the London club’s radar.
Bissouma and Sarr have formed a strong midfield foundation for Postecoglou’s team, which has helped Tottenham secure the top spot in the Premier League after ten games under the former Celtic manager. Fans are delighted to see their breakthrough after their playing time was limited by former boss Antonio Conte last season.
At 27 and 21 years old respectively, Bissouma and Sarr provide a dependable pairing that Tottenham can rely on for years to come. Their outstanding performances at the club level, as well as their international achievements with Mali and Senegal, have earned them a place in the 30-man shortlist for the African Player of the Year award.
In addition to Bissouma and Sarr, Tottenham may be interested in exploring the talents of the other 28 players on the shortlist for inspiration ahead of the January transfer window.
Reports suggest that Serhou Guirassy is a target for the Lilywhites, as well as several other clubs across Europe, due to his impressive start to the season with Stuttgart. With 14 goals in just eight Bundesliga matches, it’s no wonder Guirassy has caught the attention of clubs. Moreover, his release clause, estimated to be around £17.4 million, makes him an attractive option for any team in need of a goal-scoring threat.
