Tottenham must reconsider Stuttgart’s shining light Benjamin Pavard
Tottenham Hotspur should consider moving for Stuttgart’s Benjamin Pavard in J🌺anuary, if they struggle to land Matthijs de Ligt.
following his i♔mpressive showing at the World🍌 Cup.
In Russia he operated as a right-back and did extremely well after a shaky o🍌pe𝄹ner against Australia, scoring what was voted the Goal of the Tournament against Argentina in the quarter-final.
His𝔍 good form at the tournament has𝓀 continued into the 2018/19 season.
Stuttgart are bottom of the Bundesliga after seven games, but Pavar🔯d has been the team’s♋ shining light at centre-half – his more natural position.
, Pavard has averaged 9.6 clearꦍances per game so far inﷺ the league and has a pass completion rate of 86%.
Pavard would be perfect for Spurs
The way it♓’s shaping up, de Ligt is going to cost a lot of money and it could be that Tottenham are 🍰outbid for the Dutchman, which would be a shame give the player’s amazing ability and potential.
But Pavard would not be a bad alternative at all.
The star is a great ball-ಞplaying defender which is crucial in today’s game.
He’s also extremely 🧸versatile. He can play both centre-back and right-back, and in theory wo꧃uld be able to manage as the right-sided defender of a back three.
Tottenham are always swapping between a back three and a back four, but the intelligent Pavard is likely to ad✅apt easily enough.
de Ligt probably is the man Spurs should be trying for, but Mauricio Pochettino must continue to keep 💛tabs on Pavard, who is clearly an outstanding young talent himself in a struggling team.
