Tottenham Hotspur fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend. Richarlison bagged their first goal at the AMEX Stadium just before half-time. Jan Paul van Hecke then scored an own goal near the end.
Thomas Frank was appointed as the head coach at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the summer. Prior to his move, he caught the eye at Brentford. The London outfit are sat in 2nd place in the table behind Liverpool.
Tottenham Hotspur latest regarding Wilson Odobert
As per Tottenham Hotspur News, Tottenham winger Wilson Odobert could leave on loan in January. The 20-year-old, who is a former France youth international, joined them back in 2024. He has since made 26 appearances in all competitions and has scored three goals.
Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King has shared this update regarding his situation: “I would imagine they’ll be talking about a loan move. Certainly Odobert and his agent will be wanting to know how he’s going to get games under his belt. For me, I don’t think he’s ever going to be first choice at Spurs, and definitely not at this stage of his career.
“He’s going to be wanting to play games, and that isn’t going to happen at Tottenham at the moment. A loan would be the best option for him really.”
Odobert provides Spurs with more competition and depth at the top end of the pitch. His pace can cause problems to opposition defenders. However, as King alluded to, he isn’t guaranteed regular minutes.
The Frenchman was on the books at PSG as a youngster. He then switched to Troyes and broke into their first-team before Burnley lured him over to England. The attacker went on to play 34 games for the Clarets during his time at Turf Moor and found the net on five occasions.
What now for Tottenham Hotspur?
Spurs have a decision to make about Odobert’s situation. Loaning him out would give him the chance to play regularly. It remains to be seen at this stage what lies in store for him.
Speaking after their fightback against Brighton, Frank said: “I think the headline from me is ‘mentality’. I said it to the players beforehand, a game like this is pure mentality. Of course, we need all the tactics, structure, details, all that, but to really want to achieve something, you need to be so strong here.
“When you go away after a Champions League game, that demands everything from you - and then we decided to really test ourselves by getting down 2-0! The way we started the game - wow. Coming away from home against Brighton, a good team, we were just completely dominating them, then out of nowhere, ‘boom’, they score a goal where we can also do better, but it's also a marginal offside.
“I actually think we keep going and a little bit out of nowhere again they score the second, of course, Vic (Vicario) needs to do better, but he’s been so good for us, it can happen, we know that. The way we kept going and controlled the game more or less from the start to the end, getting the two goals, that I think is very impressive. So, the mentality and the physicality of this team looks strong, intense. I thought that was us today.”
