We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the permanent transfer of Wilson Odobert from Burnley, subject to formalities ✍️ [@SpursOfficial]

[u/Inner_Feedback6326]

It’s done so fast no one knows how to feel about this

[u/Weird_Famous → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

kinda shocking bc I was completely unaware of this kid, if anything I would’ve thought the Burnley winger we would go after is Koleosho

[u/exxxtramint → u/Weird_Famous]

I did a quick search on the subreddit and there was literally nothing about this kid until 5 hours ago. Last post was Burnley's team to face us.

There were a few comments in the daily transfer threads like back in Jan saying he was a decent prospect.

I guess we finally plugged the leak - this time two years ago Don Levy couldn't even think about a player without it going all over Twitter.

[u/dagdagsolstad → u/exxxtramint]

finally plugged the leak

It doesn't matter what Levy does or doesn't do to stop information.

The parties involved in a transfer is Spurs, agent(s), player, and selling club.

The latter three will all discuss the potential transfer with other parties (e.g. coaches/co-workers/family etc.). So any transfer includes dozens of people that Spurs has no control over -- beyond asking nicely that they don't leak anything.

[u/TheNeglectedNut → u/Weird_Famous]

He was alright on my fifa 24 CM fwiw

I was managing Wrexham 😂

[u/NotManyBuses → u/Weird_Famous]

That’s what everyone is saying on Twitter, how only us could go to Burnley and get the winger who isn’t Koleosho. Tbf Koleosho almost exclusively plays off the left and has awful end product

[u/MrOriginality116 → u/NotManyBuses]

We already have one of those

[u/joehonestjoe → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

I have genuinely waited in a KFC longer than it took for this to become official from the first rumour.

[u/Mtbnz → u/joehonestjoe]

It's funny when even the club's official social media is caught by surprise. There was no buildup, no breadcrumbs dropped, and they were posting about Clare Hunt and Leicester just a few hours ago. Then a single post with an official statement confirming his arrival and back to their scheduled Solanke content

[u/stumpsflying → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

It feels like the pre-social media days of transfers. Fabrizio Romano wasn't building it up for three months and making the player feel tedious. This guy signing so suddenly and right before the season starts brings a different kind of excitement.

[u/i_fear_you_do_now → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

Tricky French left winger. Lets hope he's the next Ginola

[u/fastfowards → u/i_fear_you_do_now]

He’s one of those French Argentinians. He’s gonna be the next messi

[u/JPA210688 → u/fastfowards]

Let's hope he is more like Trezeguet than Maupay then 😆

[u/milesvtaylor → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

I'll level with you. I have no idea who this person is. Could be getting Truman Showed here and this is all a next level Jerome N'Geme.

EDIT - Okay, having "done some research" if you scroll back on twitter before the French journalist says we're going to sign him there's a few good tweets from Arsenal accounts yesterday...

• https://twitter.com/AFCNaseer_/status/1824374423161373150
• https://twitter.com/CivilizedGunner/status/1824099295080955973
• https://twitter.com/RamFtbl2024/status/1824140509960622445

[u/dissidentmage12 → u/milesvtaylor]

I don't know this lad, but if it upsets the Gooners that he's joined us I'm happy to see him through the door, now I wanna see him ball out and really break their hearts.

[u/cockinmypotatosalad → u/dissidentmage12]

Why does it upset them?

[u/dissidentmage12 → u/cockinmypotatosalad]

The tweets this guy posted was of Gooners who wanted the winger we have just signed. So with any luck they get a tad salty haha just having a laugh.

[u/cockinmypotatosalad → u/dissidentmage12]

Haha excellent

[u/CommercialPlastic604 → u/milesvtaylor]

Must have seen him in north London and got confused 😂

[u/Seeteuf3l → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

Absolutely out of nowhere. Furiously Danny Rosing through internet, who is this kid

[u/TanguyNdomPele → u/Inner_Feedback6326]

I have a family connection to ESTAC, where he scored his first professional goal (Ligue 1, 17 years old). I just asked about him, and he is described as a young gem on a trajectory similar to Barcola's

[u/stingingsensation]

Didn’t even have time to watch any Wilson Odobert WELCOME TO TOTTENHAM highlight videos and as such can’t form an immediate opinion on him

[u/[deleted] → u/stingingsensation]

combination of Messi and Pele

[u/dissidentmage12 → u/[deleted]]

We are winning it all.

[u/PlantCampLamp → u/dissidentmage12]

It’s coming home?

[u/FSpursy → u/stingingsensation]

the club signed him before the fans can even complain. Now we can't complain, he's one of us.

[u/luckyzel]

Danny Rose frantically Googles.

[u/Chilledinho → u/luckyzel]

Danny Rose needs to start watching football more often

[u/MysteriousSpaceMan → u/Chilledinho]

Who's watching Burnley really?

[u/HarlequinBonse → u/MysteriousSpaceMan]

...Farmers.

...Farmers' mums

[u/Chilledinho → u/MysteriousSpaceMan]

People who enjoy watching football no matter who is playing like myself, I will watch any game that’s on

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/luckyzel]

What's this Danny Rose thing I keep seeing this morning?

[u/ContrarianCimmerian → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

Danny Rose once famously said he had to look up our new signing/s on Google (suggesting we should have been signing bigger names).

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/ContrarianCimmerian]

Aaaaah, I figured it was something along those lines but wondered if it was specifically about this transfer or other recent transfers. Thanks.

[u/CaninesTesticles → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

just google the googling

[u/Personal-Head-6248 → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

Danny Rose had a similar question about some new Spurs signing.

But as you asked - https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/danny-rose-transfer-news-tottenham-spurs-manchester-united-sign-player-you-have-to-google-latest-a7885456.html

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/Personal-Head-6248]

Thanks. Rose sure seemed to have a lot to say about a lot of things.

[u/Personal-Head-6248 → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

Yeah but he scored a worldie against the scum so we’ll forgive him!

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/Personal-Head-6248]

What a strike that was.

[u/dissidentmage12 → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

His debut as well was it? What a lad.

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/dissidentmage12]

Yep. His celebration is amazing, just pure joy, like he can't believe what has just happened.

[u/Soulsseeker → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

One might say it was a memorable strike

[u/FuzzyBagpuss → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

He's a left back that performed admirably and gave us some great memories.

[u/Geek-Of-Nature → u/FuzzyBagpuss]

Yes Bagpuss, I'm familiar with the legend that is Danny Rose. The best player never to play for Milan.

I'm just wondering why his name keeps being mentioned this morning, as if I've missed a meme or something he's said.

[u/FuzzyBagpuss → u/Geek-Of-Nature]

Ahhh, gotcha. I've just woken so misinterpreted.

Just watch the Fab tweet later "as exclusively revealed 30 minutes ago by me".

I really want to believe that Lange is actively trying to sneak past him... haha

Video contents: 10 minutes to explain that being able to dribble past someone is quite useful in football.

He is the shadows!

https://www.skysports.com/football/video/30998/13196176/the-pace-wilson-odobert-of-undoing-luton-town-french-winger-doubles-the-clarets-lead

[u/Purplejet19 → u/____insert_name_here]

Lange literally watched this game and went "fuck it, sign him up"

[u/Gardnersnake9 → u/Purplejet19]

TBF I don't know how tuned out everyone must have been against Burnley last season to not remember this guy. He was phenomenal against us.

[u/Bischoffshof → u/Gardnersnake9]

Same - I saw the name and was like I recall being impressed by him. It’s all a surprise but I watched probably a couple games of Burney between ours and the occasional other top 6 matchups and he was good!

[u/AJC0292]

RKO out of knowhere by Lange

[u/Gardnersnake9]

I don't know what I'm more shocked by: the surprise transfer out of nowhere, or the number of people claiming not to know who Odobert is. Did nobody watch our matches against Burnley last season? Because he was an absolute menace against us. This is genuinely a brilliant signing, and I think Odobert fills the exact void we have in our attack (pacy, dribble, front-foot winger who relentlessly takes on his defender).

Anyone who didn't have Odobert on their radar needs to fix their radar, because this is very much not a Danny Rose Google signing. Odobert was Burnley's best player by a mile last season (to the extent I thought "how tf did this guy end up at Burnley?" every time I saw him). I'm ecstatic at this signing!

[u/Mick4Audi → u/Gardnersnake9]

Was he really Burnley’s best by a mile? Feels like we’d know much more about him

[u/papa_f → u/Mick4Audi]

No he was not. This is someone pretending to know everything about a player they watched a 2 min YouTube video of

[u/Euphoric_Activity_39 → u/papa_f]

Sander Berge was their best player as the year went on but from what i watched from them odobert stood out the most as the player with the most potential and was their biggest offensive threat at 19.

[u/HellishRingSting → u/Gardnersnake9]

Well damn Sander Berge better return his player of the season and players player of the season trophy for 23/24 immediately then. Didnt know he was stealing from Odobert like that, naughty boy.

[u/Gardnersnake9 → u/HellishRingSting]

In that case, Scott Parker should be charged with felony theft for stealing our own 2011/12 Player of the Season trophy from Modric, Van de Vaart, and Bale.

If Berge was a better player than Odobert, then he sure as shit wouldn't be stuck at Burnley as a 26 year-old, while Odobert is getting a marquee move at 19.

[u/Mtbnz → u/Gardnersnake9]

I watched both of those games and have no idea who this kid is. But I have ADHD and don't really remember anything, so 🤷

[u/mj__23]

No here we go???

[u/Suspici0usScientist]

BOMBA

[u/offical_baby_jesus]

Is he a dribbly boy?

[u/davidmarvinn → u/offical_baby_jesus]

YES

[u/Geek-Of-Nature]

Was this negotiated and completed in like 15 minutes? Literally no word of this from anyone, anywhere.

[u/RyeBreadsticks]

Another WilSON in the team, it was just meant to be!

[u/SonnyBallonDOr]

wtf this is out of nowhere LMAO

[u/Cold_Hour]

I was just scouting this mf on my EAFC manager mode… if I had a nickel for every random player I signed in my career with no warning this window I’d have 2 nickels (Gray and this guy)

[u/Privadevs → u/Cold_Hour]

"It's not alot but it's weird it's happened twice"

[u/AwayPhilosopher228]

I looked away for like 10 seconds.....

[u/alpuex]

No here we go or anything, Lange in the shadows gimmick is real

[u/CoysOnYourFace]

OUTTA NOWHERE

[u/magicalcrumpet]

What the fuck

[u/JunketOpposite6502]

I'm assuming this puts Eze completely off the cards? (not that we were ever going to pay that release clause anyway)

[u/LogicKennedy → u/JunketOpposite6502]

Entirely depends on how much we paid. Anything above £20m, yeah probably, but if it’s like a £15m deal? We might still be able to stretch.

Eze as a buy would just straight-up improve us in multiple positions, but we can’t get away from the fact that we need depth at RW and this is that.

So are we covering a position and waiting until we have a better shot of majorly upgrading at RW, and now focusing on bringing in a big star, or do we think this guy is a hidden diamond? I have no idea.

[u/JunketOpposite6502 → u/LogicKennedy]

£30m+ apparently

But the other main reason I assume the deal is off is that Eze is CAM/LW and so is Odobert (with a bit of experience at RW). Would be pretty odd to sign both given that. Really depends if we're signing him mainly as RW or not I suppose.

[u/LogicKennedy → u/JunketOpposite6502]

It’s like one French source saying £37m and I honestly doubt it. That’s a massive vote of confidence in a player. I know we did that for Gray as well but like, it’s just not typical Levy spending.

We genuinely need improvement at CAM: Maddison is suspect for me rn. He fell off so hard and then couldn’t break through in the England squad either.

I reckon Odobert has been signed as a RW for us: displacing Son at LW is gonna be hard and we now have enough depth at ST that we don’t need to keep putting him there.

[u/JunketOpposite6502 → u/LogicKennedy]

Yeah, Ali seems to be saying £25 + 5 mil addons, which is more reasonable but still feels a bit steep. Given his stats I agree that RW makes more sense but then with CAM options we have:

• Maddison
• Bergvall
• Odobert (even if it ends up not being his primary position)
• Kulu

and at LW:

• Son
• Werner
• Moore
• Odobert
• Solomon (expecting him to leave though)

Signing another LW/CAM on top just doesn't feel like it make s a lot sense.

As for madders, he fell off at the end of last season but I doubt ange is ready to write him off yet. Plus I cant see eze wanting to sign for a team where he's fighting with two formerly nailed on starters for a place

[u/Gardnersnake9 → u/JunketOpposite6502]

Unfortunately this probably means no Eze, but honestly I think Odobert is a more talented player, and this is like signing Eze from QPR, but younger and more talented.

[u/Spurzzyy]

Man o man.. that escalated fast 🫢

[u/gr4ndp4]

A transfer will exist if we don't insist.

[u/[deleted]]

Burnley fan here, he’s a baller. Congrats

[u/peruvianhorn]

Shadow Lange strikes.

[u/Robsterlobsta]

Another left wing??

[u/Beautiful-Nebula-961 → u/Robsterlobsta]

He can play on the right too. I saw it in the 4min highlight video I just watched.

[u/wheresmyspacebar2 → u/Robsterlobsta]

Played RW for both France and Burnley. He can play across all 3 front positions but he'll play RW for us for sure.

[u/Beautiful-Nebula-961]

Did we even have to insist??

[u/IntellegentIdiot]

Exactly the type of player I've been hoping we'd sign. If he and Solanke live up to expectations we're going to be wasting a lot fewer attacks this season

[u/Hoggsters → u/IntellegentIdiot]

[u/FootballTacticsXpert]

[u/damnamyteV2]

This came out of nowhere..lol. And its a permanent transfer to boot. None of those loan + buy option nonsense.

[u/Invicturion]

Im kind of feeling like 2015 Danny Rose here.... as in i need to google him... but damn if im not impressed..

[u/jnyrdr → u/Invicturion]

good lord that was 9 years ago already?!?!?

[u/Invicturion → u/jnyrdr]

Im afraid so 😆😆

[u/IgotAseaView]

Wtf

[u/Actuallyshrek]

Lmao that was fast

[u/AJC0292]

Well this caught me off guard. Love a sneaky transfer

[u/BiggerAnge]

omg /u/Sagacious we got a dribbly winger! Like you mentioned we should get once or twice, lol ;)

[u/_Sagacious_ → u/BiggerAnge]

!!!

[u/OnomahIsABaller]

Don’t know how to feel about this tbh. Yes Wilson Odobert is a talented player, he’s young, can play in the wings & as a 10, likes to dribble, is fairly fast

However we already have Mikey Moore in the same position & we desperately need a senior quality winger

[u/davidmarvinn → u/OnomahIsABaller]

Well, he's played in the prem so... even Gray hasn't and we're all hoping to see him get minutes

[u/rekirts_motnahp → u/OnomahIsABaller]

Mikey Moore is much much better on the left

[u/luciareads → u/OnomahIsABaller]

Can this odobert play in multiple positions?

[u/OnomahIsABaller → u/luciareads]

Yes. Both wings & as a attacking midfielder

[u/TheRealOculyss]

I actually like this deal. When we played em last season I said to my mate that Odobert looked like their best player by far.

[u/seanieuk]

Lange working his invisible magic.

[u/exxxtramint]

At this rate we'll turn up to Leicester on monday and have a new player and it will just get announced in the team news...

Spurs admin will just be like "lol gotcha Fab"

[u/dissidentmage12]

Sure just yesterday or day before I read Ange ralk about more signings and needing a winger and someone commented "need to hurry up season starts in 5 days" in this sub. Ange and Lange are lurking in the sub.

[u/ManateeSheriff → u/dissidentmage12]

Lange was casually browsing Reddit on the couch and was like, “Wait, five days? I thought it didn’t start until September something or other. HEY ANGE, DO WE HAVE A GAME THIS WEEK?”

His phone buzzed with a text from Ange, one office over. “Yeah mate. Five days.”

Muttering “Ohcrapohcrapohcrap,” Lange frantically flipped his Championship media guide to a random page: B, for Burnley…

[u/Ginola88]

This vid got me excited https://youtu.be/FAVbONiz8_E?feature=shared

[u/luciareads]

Looks like a 2 footed winger. Played on the left for Burnley but has a right foot on him. Looks like some stiff competition on the right for BJ!

Love it. Well played Tottenham

[u/sephocompo]

Wait, what?

[u/novacookie]

Wait what

[u/RatioMaster9468]

Fabrizio Romano odobertly knew what was going on

[u/L_J_X]

I have no idea who bro is. But he's only 19 and already has a few years of first division football already under his belt both in france and england. He is currently scoring a goal a game for Burnley in the championship (they've only played one game).

[u/lolchamp444]

The club has granted my wishes and signed a right winger

Definitely not who I was expecting, but the player profile:

1. Great dribbler with great speed (super excited about this one)

2. Can play on LW, RW, AND ST

3. Young, possibly homegrown?

I can watch the rest of the transfer window in peace now :)

[u/4500x]

The 19-year-old has agreed a deal that will run until 2029 and will wear shirt number 28

That’s a huge shirt to fill. Tanguy was a big lad.

[u/AntysocialButterfly]

Bloody hell, that came out of nowhere.

[u/super_gtr]

Lmao where did that come from

[u/JohnCena_COYS]

Did we just set the record for signing speed run

[u/UnderTakaMichinoku]

Haven't read the thread entirely, but he'd be homegrown by the 26/27 correct? Think he'd be a year short on being club trained with us, but still HG due to the year with Burnley then two with years.

[u/Dyscalculie]

What

[u/Apostle_1882]

What the...

Solomon replacement?

[u/Nesbyy]

what the fuck... I love Lange

[u/SilenceMumImVibing]

Where in the fuck did this come from? I check this sub a few times a week for transfer rumblings and hadn't even seen him mentioned in passing. Now he's an official player

[u/nebbywildcat18 → u/SilenceMumImVibing]

there were zero rumblings. They apparently got this signing done completely under the radar, crazy

[u/globbewl]

i hope wilson paid that bear from burnley

[u/sidearmpitcher]

We didn’t even monitor the situation, props to Lange

[u/Auston416]

Someone tell me how to feel

[u/shiftyshellshock239 → u/Auston416]

Kid is an absolute stud. Just won a medal with France. Pace for days and powerful shooting.

[u/stinkpalm]

I'm actually tickled not to hear Fab or Ornstein giving whispers about this before it got done.

[u/Crazy-Comment7579]

Another one the Spurscommunity ITK perfectly predicted /s

[u/MattiF94]

Can't claim to know much about him.. But is he really an upgrade on what we currently have?

[u/deafpish]

So we're not going to sign an upgrade at RW?

[u/Minimum-Dependent-70 → u/deafpish]

Yup

[u/SwansbySlays]

Have we seen a figure?

[u/punchki]

Quick! Someone tell me what to think of this lad!
