Why Tottenham's Young Gun Could Shake Up the North London Derby

Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for a tough match against Arsenal, the current league leaders. The team is looking to Wilson Odobert, a 20-year-old player, to make a significant impact.

Odobert's Standout Performances

• Goal against Copenhagen
• Assist against Manchester United

These performances highlight his potential to make a big impact and suggest he deserves a starting spot against Arsenal.

Why Odobert Could Be a Game-Changer

• Quick and decisive on the field
• Holds the width on the left flank, supporting teammates like Destiny Udogie
• Beats defenders and creates space, confusing Arsenal's defense, particularly Timber and Saliba
• Excels in pressing, making it hard for Arsenal to advance
• Protects Udogie and strengthens Tottenham's defense

Odobert's Unique Abilities

There aren't many players who can do all these things as effectively as Odobert.

Other Options for the Left Flank

• Richarlison: Can be chaotic
• Brennan Johnson: Better suited for other positions

Starting Odobert allows Tottenham to keep Johnson fresh for later in the game.
