Pape Sarr 'agrees new six-year Tottenham deal'

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Sarr has reportedly agreed a new six-year contract with the North London giants.

The Senegal international burst onto the scene with Metz before penning a permanent deal with Spurs in the summer of 2021, although he spent the 2021-22 season back on loan with Les Grenats.

After linking up with his new Lilywhites teammates at Hotspur Way, Sarr struggled to get into Antonio Conte's good books, finding himself behind Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur in the midfield pecking order.

Sarr made just 17 appearances in his first season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - including a mere two Premier League starts - but he has been given a new lease of life under Ange Postecoglou in 2023-24.

"Tete comes with some great references and done very well from his time spent playing in Finland so I'm pleased to be able to add him to the group," Livingston manager David Martindale told the club's website.

"It's a difficult window to attract players to a club but it has been made even more difficult considering our league position, so it speaks volumes for the player and his attitude that he is embracing the challenge we face as a club.

"I'm really happy that we have managed to bring in a much needed offensive option, albeit I hope that we can add a further player in this area in the window too.

"Ipswich Town have been very helpful and done all they can to help facilitate the transfer. The player comes in with a large sell on for Ipswich Town and a small contingency built in if we can manage to retain our Premiership status next season.

"I want to thank John McIlvogue, John Ward and Dave Black who have all went above and beyond to find the finances for Tete to become a Livingston player in this window."
