Author of a particularly noticed start to the season, whether with Tottenham or the Senegal national team, Pape Matar Sarr has made an important decision for his future.

At the start of this season, Pape Matar Sarr is showing himself particularly to advantage. Firstly at club level since the 23-year-old midfielder seems to have taken a step forward under the orders of his new manager at Tottenham, Thomas Frank, who uses him a notch higher, with already one goal and 2 assists to his name in 9 matches. But also in the national team where he is coming off two starts in 3 matches, for 2 goals scored, including the crucial one in the victory against DR Congo (3-2) last month in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Pape Matar Sarr moves to Unique… for nearly one million euros

Things are also moving behind the scenes for the Senegal international. Indeed, according to information from Afrik-Foot, Pape Matar Sarr has changed agent, leaving Base Soccer, who had managed his interests since July 2023, to join Unique Sports Group. The structure manages over 500 players and managers, such as Hakan Calhanoglu, Marc Guehi, Anthony Gordon or Ethan Nwaneri, but also his Spurs teammate, Brennan Johnson, and Malick Thiaw, who could soon join him in the Senegal national team. Still according to our information, Unique reportedly paid out between £513,000 and £855,000 to attract the Lion.

It is not a secret, the fact of changing agent often rhymes with a transfer in preparation. Will this be the case for Pape Matar Sarr? Under contract in London until June 2030, the former Metz player does not necessarily find himself in a position of strength to negotiate a departure, but his stock is estimated at £27.4m by specialist site Transfermarkt and, if he continues on his current trajectory, suitors should not be lacking, especially with the showcase that the 2025 AFCON and doubtless the 2026 World Cup will offer, for which Senegal are well placed to qualify.
