Japhet Tanganga made a bold move this summer by leaving Tottenham Hotspur and signing with Millwall in the hopes of returning to the Premier League. Despite receiving interest from top-flight clubs, Tanganga chose to join Neil Harris’ team in the Championship after a successful loan spell.
During his time at Millwall last season, Tanganga played a crucial role in helping the team secure safety and finish in a respectable 13th place. He quickly became a fan favorite and is eager to continue his development in the Championship.
While Tanganga dreams of returning to the Premier League in the future, he is fully focused on performing well in the Championship for now. He emphasized the importance of playing at a high level and expressed his ambition to help Millwall achieve even greater success this season.
The 25-year-old defender acknowledged that it was the right time to leave Tottenham, where he had struggled to secure regular playing time. Despite not meeting his expectations at Spurs, Tanganga has no regrets and is grateful for the opportunities he had at the club.
One of the deciding factors in Tanganga’s decision to join Millwall was the overwhelming support he received from the fans and the club. He was touched by the love shown to him, especially when his new chant became popular among the supporters.
Unfortunately, Tanganga will miss the start of the season due to a three-match ban but is looking forward to returning to action and honoring the memory of goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who tragically passed away in June. The team is gearing up for their season opener against Watford and is motivated to perform well in front of their passionate fans at the Den.
Overall, Tanganga is excited about the new chapter in his career at Millwall and is determined to make a positive impact both on and off the pitch. He is focused on helping the team achieve their goals and is eager to contribute to their success in the upcoming season.
