Tottenham Hotspur is not about making big-name signings but about making smart investments that can reap dividends at White Hart Lane for a considerable time to come.
The North Londoners have been looking to take market opportunities and make smart investments this summer, and that is exactly what the club has done with French winger Wilson Odobert who they signed in a £30m deal earlier this weekend.
Tottenham make smart investment in French winger Odobert
Ange Postecoglou has been keen to bring in a wide forward in the off-season, and Spurs have been linked with a move for the likes of Federico Chiesa and Nico Williams. This shows how the club wants to add quality out wide going into next season; however, despite being linked with big-name forwards, the club has signed a project player in Wilson Odobert.
In Wilson, Tottenham are looking to sign their own Nico Williams, as the Australian gaffer looks to bring flair and tenacity to the wings. Wilson Odobert is very similar to the Athletic Club winger, as he likes to take on the defenders and carry the ball into the final third, which is very similar to that of the Spaniard.

He is a promising talent, and Ange Postecoglou would be looking to make the most of his abilities at White Hart Lane going into the conclusive weeks of the summer window.
Spurs bet on Odobert brilliance
The Lilywhites have landed a massive talent this summer, and he could go on to become a massive part of Ange Postecoglou’s project at White Hart Lane, especially considering how the former Celtic coach likes to use his wide players in space. He finally has someone who is a bit different with his flair and style of play than other wingers at the Australian gaffer’s disposal.

When you cut through the shallows and explore more depth, most of the numbers that Odobert produced are very similar to those of the Spanish winger. In fact, the former Burnley man has completed more successful take-ons and has better-passing accuracy and crossing accuracy than Williams.
We hope that Odobert’s arrival brings ample goal contributions to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
