Michael Dawson was thrilled with the performance that Wilson Odobert delivered in his Tottenham Hotspur debut, remarking that the youngster showed a lot of positive signs against Everton.
It is fair to say that the signing of Odobert has not been universally hailed as a great deal by the Spurs fan base, with some supporters being quite underwhelmed by the Frenchman’s capture.
That is perhaps understandable after links to big names like Pedro Neto, Desire Doue and Eberechi Eze all summer, with some fans wondering whether Odobert was ready to start for a side with Champions League aspirations.
However, the 19-year-old answered many of those questions emphatically with his display on Saturday, looking extremely lively in possession and running at the Everton defence at every opportunity.
Ange Postecoglou praised the teenager after the game, admitting that his aggression and his willingness to take on defenders make him different to the other wide players that Tottenham have in their squad (Football.London).
Dawson too was mightily impressed with the debutant, backing the winger to become an important player for the club.
The former Spurs captain said on Sky Sports (broadcast on 24/8; 17:34): “Wilson Odobert coming in for his first start for Spurs since signing from Burnley, very, very positive.
“I think he will be really good. The way he drives, the way he attacks the full-backs, good performance.”

We should not be getting carried away with one good performance but Odobert certainly showcased against Everton that he has the raw materials to evolve into a top-class attacker.
Postecoglou will fancy his chances of getting the best out of the former Burnley man.
