Ange Postecoglou’s second season at Tottenham continues to falter, with a 15th league defeat after their loss to Fulham. Despite a promising finish last season, early cup exits and injuries have plagued Spurs.
However, focusing on young talent like Wilson Odobert could help Postecoglou secure his future. The £25 million signing from Burnley, who has shown flashes of brilliance, could become a key figure in Tottenham’s long-term plans as they look to rebuild after a disappointing season.

00:00And Pasterkoglu's second season at Tottenham Hotspur continues to unravel, with Sunday's
00:08Premier League defeat to Fulham marking their 15th league loss. Despite a promising fifth
00:15place finish last season, early FA Cup and League Cup exits, injuries, poor form and
00:21a packed schedule have contributed to Spurs' struggles. However, there is one way Pasterkoglu
00:28could keep Daniel Levy on side by giving Wilson Odeber a more permanent role in the
00:34team's future. Tottenham signed Odeber from Burnley last summer for £25m, with £5m in
00:43add-ons after an impressive Premier League debut season. Despite Burnley's struggles,
00:48the French winger managed six goal contributions in 25 starts. Pasterkoglu called him exciting
00:55after featuring him in three of Spurs' first four league games. However, a hamstring injury
01:01in September sidelined him for five months, and his return has been sporadic. Since recovering,
01:09Odeber has started against Manchester City and Bournemouth, showing glimpses of his talent.
01:17His brace against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League highlighted his attacking potential,
01:23but regular game time is crucial for his development. At just 20, he has Premier League experience
01:30and nearly 20 youth caps for France, proving his pedigree. With Timo Werner's loan ending
01:37and Richarlison's future uncertain, Spurs need long-term solutions. Hyunmin Son is ageing
01:45and Mikey Moore may require a loan spell before becoming a first-team regular. Establishing
01:52Odeber as Tottenham's left-wing option could signal Pasterkoglu's long-term vision. Tottenham
01:59sit 13 points behind sixth-place Brighton. Investing in Odeber could be key to securing
02:07Pasterkoglu's future in north London, despite a disappointing domestic campaign.
