Tottenham fans are all saying the same thing about Wilson Odobert after European brace
Wilson Odobert stole the spotlight on Thursday night, scoring a brace that helped send Tottenham Hotspur through to the next round of the Europa League. Following his impressive display, Spurs fans are now all saying the same thing about the youngster.
Tottenham Hotspur produced a stunning comeback against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night, overturning a first-leg deficit to secure a 3-1 victory in the Europa League round of 16.
Ange Postecoglou’s side delivered one of their most complete performances of the season, and while every player played their part, it was Wilson Odobert who stole the show, his two-goal display proving decisive.
The young Frenchman, who has battled injury setbacks this season, seized his moment on the European stage. His opener set Spurs on their way before he struck again to seal the tie, delivering one of his best performances in a Tottenham shirt to date.
Tottenham fans want Wilson Odobert to start more
Following his match-winning display, we took to social media to ask Tottenham fans what they thought about his performance.
The Spurs faithful were full of praise for the 20-year-old, with many calling for him to start in Spurs’ next game, recognising his impact on the night.
One supporter wrote: “Should be an automatic start Sunday. Superb game.” Another added: “That third goal was a thing of absolute beauty. From start to finish, it was complete perfection.”
Mark Plamer was equally impressed: “Outstanding! Showed why he has replaced Johnson. Disgusted with Johnson’s effort or lack of it when he came on. We have got tired players out there who have put a real shift in, and he is strolling around like it is a testimonial.”
Artur Da Silva had a similar view: “Now that he has shown he is as good at tapping the ball in as Brennan Johnson, he should always be starting over him.”
Ben, meanwhile, hoped it would be a turning point: “Hopefully a kickstarter for him.”
A breakthrough moment in Odobert’s Spurs career
Of course, Wilson Odobert’s first season at Tottenham has been shaped by injuries. He made a bright start before suffering a hamstring injury against Arsenal in just his fourth game, which kept him sidelined for months.
However, on a big European night, he stepped up when it mattered most. His goals were straight out of the Brennan Johnson playbook, arriving at the back post twice to convert crucial chances.
Yet, beyond the goals, there was a hunger and dynamism to his play. He drove at defenders, played with purpose, and injected real energy into Spurs’ attack.
If this performance is anything to go by, Postecoglou has another exciting attacking weapon at his disposal. With momentum now on his side, Odobert could play a key role in Tottenham’s run-in.
