‘He’s not happy’ – Jamie O’Hara spots something about ‘outstanding’ Tottenham player that ‘makes me sad’
Thomas Frank may have one problem in his Spurs squad to resolve despite the Dane leading his side to a 3-0 victory at Everton.
Micky Van de Ven scored twice for Spurs at Everton as Frank’s side remain unbeaten on their travels this season.
Spurs moved to third in the Premier League table, five points behind their north London rivals and league leaders Arsenal.
Frank already doesn’t fancy Dominic Solanke, and the Dane may want to sell another star who did not start at Everton.
Pape Sarr may be unhappy at Spurs
Substitute Pape Sarr headed in a late third goal for Spurs at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but Jamie O’Hara on X [26 October] was concerned by his reaction.
“The fact Sarr doesn’t even celebrate says to me that him not being played has really got to him,” O’Hara said.
“He’s not happy and that makes me sad, we need to get him on the pitch from the start, he’s been been outstanding this season.”
Sarr falling down Spurs pecking order
Spurs want to make Joao Palhinha’s loan move from Bayern Munich permanent, and Rodrigo Bentancur has recently signed a new contract at the club.
Sarr started Spurs’ first five matches of the season, but the 23-year-old has recently been demoted to the bench.
| Minutes Played | 391 |
| Pass Accuracy % | 82.5% |
| Chances Created | 2 |
| Duels Won % | 44.6% |
| Aerial Duels Won % | 52.4% |
There is plenty of competition for places in Spurs’ midfield, meaning Sarr is not guaranteed to be a starting every week.
Sarr needs to find his best position, and evolve either into a number 10 or a defensive midfielder to be able to force his way into the team.
