Martin Keown on Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur
Keown wrote about Bentancur in The Daily Mail: “Like Kulusevski, Bentancur has been an excellent addition, giving Conte exactly what he wants as a mobile, aggressive, confident midfielder.”
Instant impact
In our opinion, Bentancur has hit the ground running at Tottenham and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.
The 24-year-old did well during his time at Juventus, and he is showing that he can be a success in England as well.
The Uruguay international plays the ball forward in midfield and is not afraid to play difficult passes.
Bentancur has made seven starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Tottenham since his move to Juventus.
The Tottenham no. 30 has given one assist in those games.
Tottenham are doing well at the moment and are very much in the race for the Premier League top four.
For Spurs to clinch a Champions League place, Bentancur will have to be on top of his game in the final weeks of the season.
