Tottenham have reportedly rejected at least four approaches for overnight hero Pape Matar Sarr during this window.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have been firm on their stance with Pape Matar Sarr during the current transfer window. The North Londoners have reportedly rejected at least four approaches for the midfielder, who proved a point in the win over Manchester United.
When Ange Postocoglou arrived, he had many conundrums with this Tottenham squad, with central midfield one of the big puzzles for the Australian to solve. The constant unavailability of Rodrigo Bentancur and the ineffective nature of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had the manager thinking about a new formula.
After their first game against Brentford, where Oliver Skipp and Yves Bissouma started, Postecoglou decided to make another change and introduce Pape Matar Sarr against Manchester United. The decision made the Senegalese midfielder an overnight star as he put in a game-changing performance against the Red Devils.
The performance may have also led Tottenham to consider selling Hojbjerg, with Atletico Madrid still interested in the Danish international. Sarr’s emergence will bring a new dawn for Tottenham as they consider him part of their long-term thinking.
Tottenham received more than four approaches this summer for Pape Matar Sarr. Despite strong interest in talented midfielder, club considered him untouchable since day one ⚪️✨ #THFC

The pairing of Sarr and Bissouma looked good and solved many previous issues in the middle. Moreover, Postecoglou also wants to keep Giovani Lo Celso in the team, which indicates the profile he seeks and possibly moves away from Hojbjerg.
Sarr provided an energetic outlet for Spurs and showed he could become an attacking threat with box runs. His goal against the Red Devils was the product of brilliant anticipation, and now the overnight star seems like the preferred choice for Postecoglou this season.
Fabrizio Romano has insisted that Tottenham have rejected at least four proposals for Sarr in this window alone. There was some interest from Sevilla before the January window. But his performances in the latter part of the season may have alerted a few others.
He failed to disclose the name of those suitors, but indeed some must have been from the Premier League seeking a loan move. Tottenham plans to play the Sarr-Bissouma partnership as their first choice in the following games, as the duo will have to perform consistently to cement their places in Postecoglou’s plans.
