A-licence coach JJ and in-house scout DJ break him down in the first ever Scouting Room. The new OhSoSpurs format puts each transfer target through both lenses: a professional coach on the eye test, an analyst-scout on the data, both in the same room. Today's verdict: thumbs up from both, with caveats. Plus: why Spurs effectively just signed two players for £25m each, the leadership profile we've been missing, the lapses to watch, and JJ's contrarian "most excited about" pick. Deep dive on Tonali tomorrow with Enya on The Analyst. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices.
