from the short clip they put up earlier of first day back, he seems to move smooth. him and gil probably need to put a fair few pounds of muscle on though.
weve potentially got the best spanish prospect and the best senegalese prospect, could be fucking huge for the future!

He looks pretty harmless, but is deceptively strong and rubust. Need only take a look at any of his appearances for Senegal.. the level of football mightn't be the highest level, but Afcon qualifiers are tough games physically and he's acquitted himself well.
I was a bit underwhelmed watching him before Christmas but the last few months have put me at ease, looks a great prospect.
Although Sarr seems primarily right-footed, I note at c1:50 he plays a nicely weighted through ball with his left foot.
I thought people writing the lad off already were hillarous. He looks a very talented young player with touch ability and the physical attributes to be a top player. Needs coaching and experience now. He's a good test for our development staff because if his mind is good he has obvious gifts.
It will depend on the final shape of our squad, with regard to the 17 non-HG places & positional depth.
But if there's a place available, Sarr looks like he could benefit from the kind of intensive training he will only get if he stays in our squad. Conte has very specific tactical & physical demands of CMs, and I'm sure will be looking closely at Sarr during the S Korean tour.
He did cost us about £14-15m, serious money for a player who was 18 when we signed him.
That's what they said about Ndombele.... unfortunately, Congolese-French for "muscle" is clearly "le Grand Mac & Frites"
You’d be surprised the difference height makes to weight (and strength).
I was a similar build at that age… 2 inches taller than him but very skinny/athletic and I weighed 75 kg. Also could outmuscle many teammates that looked more muscular. I’m guessing he’s gotta be close to 68 kgs.
As long as he can maintain agility, it’s a great height for speed and strength.
If only we could just highlight and select bold to fatten him out like you do with your posts...
Sure. I seem to recall Dele was top of the running charts in pre-season training in the early Poch days.
Of course fitness is not everything. But there's that story IIRC about Conte telling Emerson Royal to get fitter, he achieved the goals, and Conte gave him higher goals and he achieved them.
Gil and Sarr in particular are fighting for a squad place, and most Spurs fans think they're more likely to be loaned out. So the fact they've arrived in pre-season training clearly having worked on their fitness during their holidays is a big positive. And I'm sure means Conte will pay more attention to their tactical & technical application during pre-season.
Fwiw - I gather Troy Parrott actually won the final race. So following in Dele's footsteps....
For all those wondering about Sarr's physical strength, the guy is 19 (20 in September) but already looks to have a good, agile, build for a CM in these clips.
In the photo with his team mates he was absolutely dwarfed by all of them.
He's no more than 5ft 8
Looks like a giant here.
He's 6 '1 apparently
