Spurs officially sign Pape Sarr as Moussa Sissoko joins Watford

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of teenage defensive midfielder Pape Sarr from Metz. The player will stay on loan at Metz for the 21/22 season, and will join the Spurs squad in June 2022. 

The player was pursued by a number of Premier League sides such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, but Tottenham managed to get ahead of their competitors for the signature of the 18-year-old. 

Spurs paid the French club £13 million up front, and the final amount could rise to £25.5 million including all bonuses. 

“In Senegal, at the age of 15 and a half, he played his first match…I immediately said to myself that he was a top player, with a very high-level [of] reading and analysing the game,” Oliver Perrin, who first saw Sarr at his boyhood club, Generation Foot, in Senegal and has also spent time coaching at Metz. 

“He is [like] Miralem Pjanic. He can play in a system with two No.10s; he can be in the middle and play box-to-box; he can be a 10 or a six – it depends on the coaches.”

Spurs have also sanctioned the sale of Moussa Sissoko to newly promoted club Watford for a reported fee worth £2.5 million. The 32-year-old joined Spurs in 2016, and has made over 200 appearances for them across all competitions. He has now signed a two-year contract with the Hornets after falling out of favour under Nuno Espirito Santo.
