Tottenham fans got a glimpse of their new man in training as DeAndre Yedlin worked out with his new team mates this week. He’s been snapped by Tottenham Hotspur’s Official website taking part in the training drills as he gets to know his new surroundings.
While some are underwhelmed by a player who, like Kyle Walker, seems more keen on bombing forward than defending, we are really excited by the new Tottenham lad.
He was thrown in at the deep end in The World Cup as injury to the first choice right back gave him an unexpected run out against Belgium in Brazil and he was genuinely one of the stand out performers in the game.
Yedlin is one of the quickest and most athletic players that we have ever seen. At 21 it’s easy to run all day but this guy simply didn’t stop. But pace can be pointless without technique and the American has that too.
All in all we think that it could turn out to be a real coup of a signing. With Walker now back in the fold after long term injury Yedlin will have a fight on his hands for game time at Tottenham. But we think that he will be hard to shift once he gets into the starting eleven.
Let’s take a look at him in action. Tottenham fans: excited by Yedlin or is he just a younger version of the sometimes gung-ho Kyle Walker?
