Flocking to social media, many Lilywhites have been in full discussion over ‘promising talent‘ Japhet Tanganga – especially since fan favourite Jan Vertonghen looks unlikely to put pen to paper on a contract extension as things stand.
Tanganga, who has started six Premier League games under manager Jose Mourinho this campaign, has impressed when given the opportunity – especially during our 2-0 victory over Man City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in February.
Can Tanganga replace Vertonghen?
Yes, 100%
No, needs more time
The 21-year-old defender, according to SofaScore, won 100% of his aerial duels that game, blocking three shots and making four tackles, amassing the joint-second highest match rating alongside Toby Alderweireld just behind shot-stopper Hugo Lloris.
Given his noteworthy performance against the league champions, it’s hardly surprising that so many Lilywhites rate the youngster – with one fan even claiming that he reminds him of Ledley King.
Another supporter said he is worth £50 million – find all of their best comments surrounding the Englishman from Twitter down below.
