How Tottenham have jumped the gun as Pape Matar Sarr reaches agreement in double deal

Tottenham Hotspur could be making a mistake by selling Pape Matar Sarr to Galatasaray.

Roberto De Zerbi could sanction an overhaul at the North London outfit in the final days of the transfer window.

The Lilywhites have shown ambition this summer, but none of that will matter if they keep on losing 3-0 to the likes of Brentford in the Premier League.

Sarr has been part of Spurs' underwhelming spell over the last two seasons, but he certainly didn't carry much of the blame.

The Senegal international has had his moments at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but his game time has been limited under De Zerbi.

While the Italian manager doesn't seem to trust the 23-year-old, the North Londoners may be jumping the gun with his possible exit.

Pape Matar Sarr transfer latest at Tottenham

Sarr's future at Tottenham has been uncertain ever since the recent spending spree on Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

There has been an expectation that the Senegalese youngster could be the fall guy after the significant investment in the engine room.

De Zerbi's midfield options also include Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, Conor Gallagher, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison and Xavi Simons.

According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, who has 2.3 million followers on X, Galatasaray have reached an agreement on personal terms with Sarr.

The midfielder's compatriot Ismaila Sarr could also be on his way to the Super Lig club as negotiations are underway with Spurs and Crystal Palace.

After what happened at the Gtech Community Stadium, De Zerbi should take a minute to re-evaluate his midfield options.

Sarr is arguably capable of doing better than what was seen from the midfielders in the opening game of the Premier League season.

Spurs problem vs Brentford exactly what Pape Matar Sarr could address

It doesn't matter that Tottenham have spent around £200million on Tonali and Fernandes if they can't put in the work.

One of Spurs' biggest problems against the Bees was their inability to win the midfield battle.

The North London outfit's engine room seemed to lack the intensity and athleticism required to compete with Keith Andrews' team.

Tonali and Bergvall couldn't contain Premier League debutant Mamadou Sangare at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Sarr surely would've been able to make a difference in such a game, but De Zerbi didn't include him in the matchday squad and is now looking to sell him.
