Tottenham Hotspur new boy made a big impression on his debut.
Tanguy Ndombele had a debut to remember for Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
He overcame first half jitters to score an equaliser from outside the box after the break and inspire a 3-1 win.
Ndombele was named by Garth Crooks in his BBC Team of the Week.
Despite this, Crooks admitted he is not quite sure what he makes of Ndombele, but says he is very intrigued.
He said: “So what do Spurs have here? I’ve seen Moussa Dembele, Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama make promising starts at White Hart Lane but none of them started like Tanguy Ndombele.
“I’ve seen better performances but seldom have I seen better finishes on a debut.
“I’m told that Tottenham’s record signing has much more to offer which is just as well. Tottenham have had some wonderful midfielders over the years and he’s got some big shoes to fill.”
Ndombele was far from perfect, but he certainly made an impression, as shown by the fact Crooks named him in his top XI from the weekend.
He influenced the game in a positive way, and that’s what Tottenham bought him for.
And luckily for Tottenham fans, there is plenty more to come.
