Tottenham squad now calling Sarr Starboy

Gold commented on the performance of the twenty-one-year-old during the match against AC Milan, stating that “[Pape Matar] Sarr was fantastic. Antonio Conte said, ‘Thank you, go and stand there,’ and he did.”

“Whereas, [Ange] Postecoglou’s gone, no no, this kid’s going to be just a world-beater.

“Like I say, around the club they call him ‘Starboy’, that’s what the players call him because they believe he’s just going to be this phenomenal young player.

“I’m very excited about the way Postecoglou’s going with this team.”

Sarr was unable to avoid giving the ball away multiple times against Arsenal, but ultimately managed to put together a satisfactory performance. He was tasked with attempting to keep an eye on Arsenal’s star player, Bulya Saka, who had a goal and an assist. Sarr’s performance for Tottenham, however, was more impressive for a variety of reasons. He has been able to adjust to the Australian football system quickly, but it is likely that his position will be in doubt soon after Rodrigo Bentancuro’s return from injury.
