Why Tottenham's Young Gun Could Shake Up the North London Derby
North LondonTue Nov 18 2025
Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for a tough match against Arsenal. The Gunners are currently leading the league, and Tottenham wants to grab some points. This is where Wilson Odobert comes in. He's a 20-year-old player who has shown flashes of brilliance but hasn't been consistent yet.
Odobert has had some standout moments. He scored a goal against Copenhagen and set up an assist against Manchester United. These performances show he can make a big impact. His form suggests he deserves a starting spot against Arsenal.
Odobert's skills could be a game-changer. He's quick and can make smart decisions on the field. He can hold the width on the left flank and help his teammates like Destiny Udogie. His ability to beat defenders and create space can confuse Arsenal's defense, especially Timber and Saliba.
Odobert is also useful when Tottenham doesn't have the ball. He can press quickly and smartly, making it hard for Arsenal to advance. His speed helps protect Udogie and keeps Tottenham's defense strong. There aren't many players like Odobert who can do all these things.
Other options for the left flank aren't as good. Richarlison can be chaotic, and Brennan Johnson is better in other positions. Starting Odobert lets Tottenham keep Johnson fresh for later in the game.
