The 2025/26 play could beryllium the twelvemonth wherever Tottenham fans spot the existent Wilson Odobert. New caput manager Thomas Frank volition surely beryllium hoping that is the lawsuit arsenic helium looks to instrumentality the nine guardant and situation for silverware.
Arriving from Burnley past August successful a woody worthy £30million, the Frenchman was restricted to 21 appearances successful each competitions owed to injury. Odobert did decorativeness the play with a Europa League last winners' medal astir his cervix and helium besides played a immense relation connected the team's mode to the final.
It was his treble successful a 3-1 circular of 16 2nd limb triumph implicit AZ Alkmaar that saw Tottenham overturn a 1-0 shortage from the archetypal limb to crucially unafraid a spot successful the quarter-finals of the competition. A fewer weeks aboriginal helium past scored his archetypal Premier League extremity for the nine successful a 1-1 gully distant astatine West Ham.
Odobert showed glimpses of his prime successful his Tottenham appearances, possibly astir notably connected his Premier League location debut against Everton, but determination were occasions wherever helium recovered himself connected the periphery of a crippled and unluckily having small influence. The hamstring wounded helium suffered successful the Carabao Cup triumph astatine Coventry City yet had a large interaction connected his season and meant helium was playing catch-up from the infinitesimal helium returned 5 months later.

It volition beryllium Frank alternatively than Postecoglou who hopefully benefits from the talented Odobert successful the months and seasons ahead. The France Under-21 planetary did not diagnostic successful either of Tottenham's games against Brentford past word owed to wounded but helium did play doubly against the Bees the erstwhile run erstwhile helium was a Burnley player.
In his 2nd outing against them arsenic the Clarets won 2-1, Odobert teed up David Datro Fofana for the winning extremity with a beauteous disguised walk that the striker finished off. Frank volition surely cognize each astir the qualities his subordinate possesses and helium has a way grounds of extracting adjacent much retired of his players, which hopefully volition successful crook effect successful Tottenham fans seeing the precise champion of the 20-year-old.
It won't beryllium truthful straightforward successful presumption of the Meaux-born subordinate securing a spot successful Tottenham's strongest XI but it volition beryllium a task helium relishes. As things basal close now, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Mathys Tel, Manor Solomon, Mikey Moore, Bryan Gil, Yang Min-hyeok, Son Heung-min and Richarlison are each options to play connected the wing.
A fewer of the aforementioned players volition caput for the exit doorway and determination is besides the anticipation of further incomings successful that country of the pitch, with West Ham's Mohammed Kudus linked with a big-money determination crossed the capital. Following a summertime wherever helium got adjacent much minutes nether his loop aft playing for France Under-21s astatine the caller UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Odobert present has to marque his people successful pre-season and enactment himself successful the champion imaginable presumption to commencement against erstwhile nine Burnley connected the opening play of the season.
It is simply a large twelvemonth for the subordinate and it could beryllium to beryllium a precise breathtaking 1 with Frank present the antheral tasked with his development.
