Pape Matar Sarr has opened up on his footballing journey and admitted that he is really enjoying being part of the current Tottenham outfit.
At 21 years of age, Sarr has already been part of an AFCON-winning Senegal side, has played in the World Cup, and is now an important cog in the midfield of a team sitting at the top of the Premier League table.
The hallmark of his game so far has been the ground he covers off the ball, constantly helping put out fires whenever Spurs lose possession, and he has now revealed that his work ethic was something that was instilled into him from a very young age.
Sarr told The Daily Mail: “My first contact with football was in Thies where I grew up in Senegal. I grew up in a footballing family, they drilled a hard-working mentality into me regarding football. They always prepared me to be successful. “My dad was a manager. I was afraid of the comments he was going to make about me. It was a plus for me as he was often giving advice after games.”
