Pape Matar Sarr stars as Metz aim for great escape while young Tottenham defender wins title

While many of the Tottenham players who have been out on loan are now back in the nest, there are some who are still fighting for important goals.

The loan deals for Troy Parrott, Kion Etete, Nile John and Kacper Kurylowicz have come to an end at MK Dons, Cheltenham, Charlton and Potters Bar Town respectively. Spurs have had 11 loan players out on loan at sides in England, Scotland, France, Spain and Sweden during this second half of the season.

Metz have clambered up the table with back-to-back victories and on Saturday they beat Angers 1-0 at home. Sarr played the full 90 minutes and was Whoscored's second highest rated player on the pitch with a score of 7.58. The 19-year-old was heavily involved in the centre of midfield, with his 59 touches of the ball the second highest in the Metz team and he had a pass success rate of 85.7% from his 35 passes.
