Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Mali International midfielder Mamadou Sangare from RC Lens.
According to TEAMtalk, they will face competition from Chelsea and Manchester United as well. The 23-year-old has been excellent since joining the French outfit, and he’s currently one of the best midfielders in the league. He has been exceptional defensively this season, and he could prove to be an asset for Tottenham.
Mamadou Sangare is a top talent
Sangare can operate as a defensive midfielder as well as a box-to-midfielder. He will add defensive steel and drive in the middle of the park. The player has 3.66 Tackles, 7.98 Duels won, and 7.76 Recoveries per 90 minutes in the league this season.
He has helped Lens stay organised at the back, and they are currently at the top of the league table. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to sanction his departure in the coming months.
There is no doubt that Tottenham him need more physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park. The African would be a long-term acquisition for them, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a star for the North London club.
Sangare could be a star
Jean-Louis Leca, Racing’s Sporting Director, has previously heaped praise on the young midfielder.
He said: “His well-rounded profile and personality, perfectly aligned with our project, convinced us. Thanks to his work rate and ability to get forward, Mamadou is an influential midfielder both defensively and offensively. He also possesses very interesting athletic and technical qualities.”
The midfielder could be excited about the possibility of competing in the Premier League. It would be a step up in his career, and he will look to test himself at a higher level. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential.
