Danny Murphy has praised Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One (10:48pm, March 20, 2022) after watching him in action against West Ham United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League.
The former Tottenham midfielder was impressed by what he saw from Bentancur in Antonio Conte’s side’s win against West Ham in the London derby on Sunday.
The MOTD pundit has said that the 24-year-old Morocco international midfielder is classy and elegant.
Praise for Tottenham Hotspur’s Rodrigo Bentancur
Murphy said about Bentancur: “This guy is elegant. He is classy. He makes the game look easy, and he plays the game forward.”
Big player
In our opinion, Bentancur is now one of the first names on the Tottenham teamsheet and has established himself as a big player in head coach Conte’s team.
The Uruguay international does well in the middle of the park and breaks the opposition’s plays nicely.
Bentancur is also able to move the ball forward quickly, and that is a big reason why Tottenham are doing relatively well at the moment.
The midfielder played regularly for Juventus before his move to Tottenham in the January transfer window.
Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and you do not get signed by the former Italian champions if you are not good.
