A player that Tottenham Hotspur loaned out in the summer transfer window has already established himself at his new club in terms of an impressive statistic.

 

Ange Postecoglou substantially trimmed his squad over the course of the summer and a number of players were allowed to leave.

 

Oliver Skipp, Emerson Royal, Joe Rodon and Giovani Lo Celso were all sold, while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg left on loan to Marseille, but with the French club expected to sign him permanently next summer.
