Omole continues to make progress since Arsenal departure, makes first start for Tottenham Hotspur
Published: July 22, 2021
Anglo-Nigerian youngster Tobi Omole continues to make progress
since transferring to Tottenham Hotspur from north London rivals Arsenal
last October.
The 21-year-old joined
Spurs on a deal until the end of the 2020-2021 season but the contract
was extended after a string of brilliant performances for the U23s in
the Premier League 2.
Four days after he
was handed his non-competitive debut off the bench by manager Nuno
Espirito Santo in a 1-1 draw at Leyton Orient, the Portuguese football
tactician named the versatile defender in his starting lineup for
Wednesday night's friendly against Colchester United.
Playing
at left-back, Omole was on parade at the JobServe Community Stadium in
Essex for 66 minutes before making way for Kallum Cesay.
Omole played with the number 44 kit and Super Eagles invitee Joshua Oluwayemi, an unused substitute, wore number 46.
Eleven
minutes into his pre-season, Heung-Min Son opened the scoring, an
outstanding goal from Lucas Moura made it 2-0 at minute 14 before Dele
Alli cleverly flicked the ball in to wrap up the scoring in the 38th
minute.
Before their Premier League opener
against Manchester City, Tottenham will face MK Dons, Chelsea and
Arsenal in pre-season friendlies.
