#4 Thomas Lemar
Trending
When you watch him play, it feels as though you are witnessing a more talented version of Mousa Dembele. The same left-footed elegance that caresses the ball while dribbling it out of tight control, the same burst of pace while moving forward.
However, there is one slight difference: Lemar is more creative and cuts defences better with his passes. In other words, his final product is better than that of the Belgian who currently is a mainstay in the Spurs midfield.
And despite the shortcomings of the former Fulham man, he is a key member of Pochettino’s system and Spurs actually struggle without his tenacious presence the middle.
The signing of Moussa Sissoko was carried out with the intention of replacing the Belgian in case of an injury. However, the Frenchman has been terrible in his first season and a signing is needed to fill up the void.
And Thomas Lemar ticks all the boxes. Indeed, if he is replacing Dembele in the line-up, Spurs fans won’t even feel the difference. And there is also a great chance that the Londoners will be a better team because of it.
