Wilson Odobert makes superb claim about Tottenham
Wilson Odobert has had quite a whirlwind week, moving from scoring in the Championship with Burnley to securing a high-profile transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham's signing of Odobert, a 19-year-old winger, came as a surprise to many. While fans and pundits speculated about potential signings throughout Europe, Tottenham worked quietly behind the scenes to secure the deal.
The move, reportedly worth £25 million with an additional £5 million in add-ons, shows the club’s confidence in Odobert’s potential and their focus on putting together a solid team for the future.
In his first interview since joining Spurs, Odobert expressed his excitement about the move and shared his thoughts on what drew him to the North London club making a superb claim:
"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."
Odobert also spoke about what he hopes to bring to the team:
"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."

Reflecting on his time in the Premier League with Burnley, Odobert acknowledged the challenges of adapting to the league but emphasized how that experience helped him grow as a player.
"This league isn’t an easy one to get used to playing in. But that [move to Burnley] gave me the chance and helped me grow and develop as a player, in terms of technique and mentality."
Now, as he embarks on this new journey with Tottenham, Odobert is eager to make an impact:
"It’s a tough ask to come and play here against Tottenham… from the outset I was hugely impressed, by the stadium and the supporters. Now here I am as a Spurs player! I’m really up for it; to do everything I can, to fight hard, to succeed in winning the fans over, and help the club get results."
Odobert joining Tottenham brings even more excitement to the club's ongoing project with Ange Postecoglou. With his mix of natural talent, drive, and maturity, he seems poised to make the most of the opportunities ahead.
