5 Tottenham Hotspur players with the least minutes played in the 2021-22 season

3. Rodrigo Bentancur - 626

Rodrigo Bentancur has spent 626 minutes on the pitch for Spurs

Rodrigo Bentuncur followed his teammate Kulusevski from Juventus to Tottenham Hotspur. He signed a deal on the same date (31st January 2022) and made his debut in the same game (FA Cup fixture vs Brighton) as Kulusevski.

However, Bentancur could not accumulate as many playing minutes as his former teammate at the new club. A total of eight Premier League appearances and one FA Cup feature means Rodrigo Bentancur has spent 626 minutes on the pitch for Spurs.

The addition of the Uruguayan international has lit new hope among the club's supporters. His experience in Serie A is something that should have urged Conte to rope him in. He is a regular figure in Tottenham's club outings and seemingly, Bentancur is here for the long haul.

2. Joe Rodon - 506

Rodon made his first Spurs start against Chelsea

Wales international Joe Rodon was signed by the club in October 2020 to add more depth to their defensive unit. He signed a five-year contract with the club with the hopes of securing a permanent spot in the near future.

After marking his debut in the 93rd minute of Spurs' 0-1 victory at Burnley, Rodon made his first start a month later against Chelsea. He filled the gap at the heart of the defense left by the injured Toby Alderweireld and successfully kept a clean sheet in a goalless match.

In the on-going season, Rodon has eight games across all competitions under his belt. Four of those are from Spurs' Europa fixtures. He is expected to be the future of Tottenham's defensive department.

1. Dane Scarlett - 270

Dane Scarlett was an unstoppable force in the U18 league

Dane Scarlett was part of Tottenham's U/18 squad during the 2019-20 season. He made a fine start to the season before being ruled out following a knee injury. The following season, Dane Scarlett started training and playing with the Spurs' preseason friendly squad before eventually returning to the U18 team.

He was an unstoppable force in the U18 league. It urged the team management to invite the youngster to train with the first team. He then earned a place on the bench with the senior side ahead of their Europa League fixture against Ludogorets Razgrad.

He came off the bench in the same match to replace Lucas Moura. Thus, he became the youngest-ever player in the club's history to have appeared in a senior first-team competitive game. He signed a two-year deal with the club on 28th March 2021.
