The curious case of Japhet Tanganga

Japhet Tanganga has often been labeled a youth prospect by Tottenham Hotspur fans. A prodigy and heir to the throne of the great Ledley King.

The reality is that Tanganga is now 22-years-old, and youth is no longer an argument that can be made by fans in defence of his lack of game-time.

At the same age as the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Mason Mount, Trent Alexander Arnold, and Declan Rice, Tanganga is at a period in his career in which his future at a club like Spurs is hanging in the balance.
