‘Same ambitions’ – Wilson Odobert reveals what Tottenham fans can expect from his game
It has been quite the week for Wilson Odobert, who went from scoring on the opening weekend of the Championship season for Burnley, to securing a big move to Tottenham Hotspur on Friday. Now, he’s been speaking about that move.
While fans, pundits, and transfer experts speculated about a number of wingers across Europe that Tottenham might want to sign this summer, the club quietly got on with the task at hand and out of nowhere, the signing of Odobert was announced.
The 19-year-old has joined Spurs in a reported £25m move, with a further £5m in add-ons (Alasdair Gold).
Speaking with the club for the first time since joining, Odobert shared his thoughts on the transfer: “First and foremost, Tottenham is a big club and it’s hugely ambitious, too. I think the club and myself share the same ambitions. We’re on the same wavelength.”
When asked what he brings to the team, Odobert said: “I’ve got a decent amount of pace. I like to take people on and dribble, I like to get on the ball, bring others in, to entertain, and at the same time enjoy my football, too.
“I really feel I’ll be part of a great project here, with fantastic support and a superb stadium. It’s a top club and all these factors helped convince me to come here.”
