Tottenham will need players who can produce moments of brilliance if they want to compete for all trophies this season. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lilywhites have had a strong start to the season. Spurs\u2019 win over Leeds United lifted them to third in the Premier League table before the international break.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tottenham\u2019s comeback against Bodo\/Glimt in the Champions League means that Thomas Frank\u2019s side remain unbeaten on the European stage.<\/p>\n

But it is still early days, and Frank will no doubt want to maintain and even build on this momentum.<\/p>\n

Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr\u2019s importance shared<\/h2>\n

Pape Matar Sarr has become the unlikely protagonist in Frank\u2019s new shade of Tottenham these past couple of months.<\/p>\n

Spurs supporters knew he was destined for greatness under the Dane when he netted a screamer in Tottenham\u2019s win over Arsenal during pre-season, and he hasn\u2019t disappointed since.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lucas Bergvall started for Spurs in their opening league win against Burnley, but was later demoted to a rotational role.<\/p>\n

However, after strong performances against West Ham and in the Champions League, he has established himself as a crucial piece of Frank\u2019s puzzle.<\/p>\n

As a result, former Brentford manager and ex-Premier League midfielder Martin Allen \u2013 speaking exclusively to Tottenham News<\/strong> \u2013 believes the two young stars will be important to how the Lilywhites perform this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarr is a good player,\u201d<\/em> Allen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s mobile, he gets around the pitch, he gets in the box, he plays all over the pitch. He\u2019s got license to run, and he is a good player. I really, really like him, and he\u2019s getting better.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBergvall is a good player. He is a top, top player, and he\u2019s still young. He can run, he gets his foot in, he\u2019s good on the ball. He\u2019s good technically.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think Tottenham have got a couple of good, young players that are going to take Tottenham, I feel a long way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
