Japhet Tanganga

After the Celtic/Ben Davies rigmarole in January of this year, the Hoops needed more defensive options. Of course, we ended up with just Jonjoe Kennedy. No centre-backs came in, and Stephen Welsh made a mark as a result. Welsh has, of course, had a fine start to life in the first-team proper, primarily under John Kennedy. However, Celtic will absolutely need more bodies in defence, and it’s worth remembering the name Japhet Tanganga.

His only real action of the night was a comfortable low save on 58 minutes as his defence protected him. 6. Very assured for much of the game and made some big blocks in the Spurs box. Tucked inside quite a lot but when he did attack on rare occasions he looked comfortable on the ball. Made a big claim for the right-back spot after a week of poor performances there from his two competitors for the role. 8.

Japhet Tanganga had mixed emotions after featuring in Tottenham's defeat to Manchester City. The defender made his first appearance in the Premier League this season at the Etihad Stadium. "As a defender, as well as you play, it's never nice to concede one goal, let alone three," said Tanganga. “I'm...

Got a good hand to Rodri's penalty but he couldn't keep it out. Really should've done better with City's second of the evening as Ilkay Gundogan scored at the near post with a tame effort. Not often called into action but not a good night for the experienced Frenchman. 3.

West Brom are targeting Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga. The Daily Mail says the 21-year defender was an unused substitute in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Brighton despite Jose Mourinho shuffling his back line and starting with three centre backs. Mourinho is unsure about allowing the England Under-20 international to leave as...

Tottenham fans have not seen much of Japhet Tanganga in match action this season after making a huge impression for the club 12 months ago. Handed a shock league debut against runaway leaders Liverpool, the 21-year-old grasped his opportunity with both hands and dealt incredibly well up against the likes of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga says this could just be the start for record-breaker Alfie Devine. The midfielder became the club's youngest ever player and goalscorer in Sunday's FA Cup win over Marine, entering the record books at 16 years and 163 days. It has been a prominent rise for the...

Tottenham Hotspur defender Alfie Devine has showered heaps of praise on youngster Alfie Devine after he made his debut in the FA Cup. Devine became the youngster ever player (at just 16 years and 163 days old) to represent the Spurs senior team when he came on in the second half during Tottenham’s 5-0 FA Cup victory at Marine on Sunday.

Japhet Tanganga imparted some words of wisdom to Tottenham Hotspur's new record-breaking teenager Alfie Devine before he made his debut. Both Tanganga and Devine came on for the second half of Spurs' 5-0 FA Cup victory at Marine on Sunday and the latter would make history - twice. Devine, who...
