'Really good synergy': Postecoglou says £40m Tottenham player has formed exciting partnership with Odobert

There were a lot of things to like about Tottenham Hotspur’s victory on Saturday afternoon in their first home game of the season.

After a wasteful display against Leicester City on Monday night, Tottenham really turned the screw against Everton in N17.

Ange Postecoglou was left delighted with the showing from his side which has put them up into the top four ahead of their trip to Tyneside next weekend.

It would be difficult to pinpoint one specific Man of the Match for Tottenham with a number of their players putting a solid shift in.

But there was one impressive showing with Heung-min Son waxing lyrical about Wilson Odobert on his Tottenham debut.

And the Spurs boss has already admitted one of his players is forming a good partnership with the new Tottenham winger.

Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham player has formed Wilson Odobert partnership

Tottenham’s transfer business has not been overly extravagant this summer despite the £65m signing of Dominic Solanke.

Chelsea were able to beat Tottenham to the signing of Pedro Neto this summer which led the Lilywhites to signing Odobert instead.

However, the 19-year-old enjoyed a strong debut which showed a lot of promise to the on watching Tottenham fans in the crowd.

And it seems as if the young winger may also have just brought the best out of James Maddison with Postecoglou singing the midfielder’s praise after the game.

“Yeah, I thought Madders was really good and again, really disciplined. It’s not an easy game when you play against a team like Everton because you know there’s not gonna be a hell of a lot of space in the front third,” Postecoglou told football.london.

“But you’ve also got to work defensively for second balls. I thought he was really good at doing that for us. He kind of mopped up a few times when they’ve gone long and, and kept the ball for us.

“He had a really good synergy with Wilson early on, they worked really well together. And then he made some great runs.”

James Maddison has made a strong start to the 2024/25 season

After a strange 2023/24 campaign, the £40m Maddison was coming into the new season on the back of his England squad omission.

Maddison certainly has something to prove after he was unable to rediscover his best form following his ankle injury last term.

However, the Spurs midfielder has made a strong start to the new campaign with an assist in Monday’s opener against Leicester.

And he also added another assist on Saturday, here is a rundown of his display…

• 76 minutes
• 1 assist
• 85 touches
• 2 key passes
• 2 big chances created
• 87% pass accuracy
• 2X was fouled

Although Maddison may be hoping for Solanke to make a quick recovery, it seems as if he is already showing positive signs inside the opening two games.
