Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has described Spurs teammate Pape Matar Sarr as an “unbelievable talent”.
The Tottenham attacking talent singled the 21-year-old midfielder out as the most exciting youngster at Spurs right now.
Sarr has been making waves at Tottenham, becoming a regular Spurs starter and looking a cut above in the Premier League at such a young age.
To date, the Senegal international has made 25 competitive appearances for Spurs, and has also won 14 caps for the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions.
Sarr’s superb performances have helped Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham go top of the Premier League table after 10 games.
And Kulusevski, speaking at FC Futures, a joint-initiative by EA Sports and UEFA – via Ben Jacobs – was eager to sing the midfielder’s praises.
“At Spurs, we are a very young team,” said the Sweden international. “But if I had to say one guy it would be Sarr that’s already playing, but he’s an unbelievable talent.”

The plaudits just keep coming for Sarr, who’s going from strength to strength with each passing matchday.
For instance, Postecoglou recently said that the 21-year-old has made “enormous” contributions to Spurs already, praising his talent, versatility and attitude.
Tottenham well and truly struck gold when they signed Sarr. He was deemed one of the best youngsters in the world at the time, and he’s certainly living up to his potential.
And to think Spurs reportedly paid Metz less than £15million in terms of initial fee, plus add-ons. That could turn out to be one of the bargains of the century.
Tottenham have put an amazing team together and it’ll be interesting to see how the likes of Sarr and Destiny Udogie – already so good at just 20 years of age – continue to develop.
Spurs are up against Chelsea on Monday night, and the £29,000-a-week talent (Salarysport) will almost certainly play, testament to his talent and hard work to get to this point.
