Japhet Tanganga
Japhet Manzambi Tanganga (born 31 March 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for and captains EFL Championship club Sheffield United.
Tanganga was born in Hackney, Greater London, to a Congolese family. He attended Greig City Academy and joined the Tottenham Hotspur youth academy at the age of 10.
In June 2019, Tanganga extended his contract with Tottenham until 2020. On 24 September 2019, he made his debut in the EFL Cup, in an away match to Colchester United. Tanganga made his full Premier League debut on 11 January 2020, in a 1–0 home defeat against Liverpool. Three days later he played the entire 90 minutes in an FA Cup replay against Middlesbrough, which Spurs won 2–1, and was named man of the match.
On 27 July 2020, Tanganga signed a new contract with Tottenham, extending his contract until 2025. However, he suffered from a series of injuries and, aside from a EFL Cup game against Chelsea in September, he did not play any games from March 2020 when League football was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic until 26 November 2020, in a UEFA Europa League match against Ludogorets Razgrad. Following his return, he made only a few appearances for the remainder of the season.
On 16 August 2021, Tanganga started Tottenham's first game of the 2021–22 season, and was named man of the match in a 1–0 victory against Manchester City. In a September Premier League game away at Crystal Palace, he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession while the score was 0–0. Tottenham eventually lost 3–0.
Tanganga was ruled out for the remainder of the 2021–22 season after he suffered a knee injury on 24 January 2022 in a 2–0 loss to Chelsea. He made 19 appearances that season, 11 of which were in the league.
Tanganga was released by Tottenham at the end of the 2023–24 season.
On 1 September, Tanganga joined Bundesliga club Augsburg on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy. However, he did not make any appearances for Augsburg, sitting on the bench only once during his time there. He returned to Tottenham in January 2024.
