Midfield
CM – Yves Bissouma (Tottenham) – Manchester United’s Sofyan Amrabat, Everton’s Idrissa Gueye, Nottingham Forest’s Ibrahima Sangare and Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny are all with their respective countries at AFCON.
However, Bissouma has impressed in Spurs’s midfield this campaign. The Malian international did struggle somewhat after leaving Brighton in 2022, but he has firmly established himself as a regular starter following the arrival of Ange Postecoglou as manager.
CM – Pape Sarr (Tottenham) – The young Senegalese star has come on leaps and bounds over the past few months, and his partnership with Bissouma has helped Spurs dominate games in midfield.
AM – Alex Iwobi (Fulham) – Although the Nigerian has often been criticised for his lack of end product, he has looked impressive since swapping Everton for Craven Cottage last summer.
