"Prime Cafu-Maldini-Zidane-Messi rolled into one"- Tottenham fans rave about player following Middlesbrough win

Many Tottenham fans have praised Japhet Tanganga's display in the FA Cup third-round replay with Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Spurs raced into a 2-0 lead early in the match and had several chances to go out of sight, but recorded a poor finishing. Middlesbrough got one back late in the second half to set up a nervy finish, but Jose Mourinho's side managed to hold onto the win and earned progression into the next round where they will be taking on Southampton. The 20-year-old centre-back who impressed in his Premier League debut against Liverpool last weekend, kept his place in the side and repaid Mourinho’s faith with yet another fabulous display. And on the back of that performance, some fans were convinced that the youngster has a bright future at the club. Here is what they had to say:

Tanganga was fantastic tonight. Didn’t put a foot wrong all game. Going to be some player. Get him signed on a long-term deal!

I don’t think it’s premature to suggest that Tanganga is prime Cafu-Maldini-Zidane-Messi rolled into one. #THFC #COYS #TOTMID

Mourinho’s done more for youth development at Spurs in the last week than Poch did in the last year 💅🏻

Baffles me Tanganga hasn’t been playing when defence especially when rb has been our main area of weakness, he’s a cracking player #THFC

Tanganga a great example of how the gap between first team and academy players isn’t nearly as large as people exaggerate

You look at a player sometimes and think yeah potential (Sanchez for example) then a Tanganga comes along and you just know he’ll make it. Whatever “it” is, he has it. Going early here. Don’t care.
