Millwall boss Harris delighted with Spurs loanee Tanganga

Tottenham's forgotten defender Japhet Tanganga's renaissance at Millwall has continued.

The 24-year-old has been an ever present for the London side during a loan spell.

Tanganga was outstanding in a 1-0 win over Birmingham City at home, scoring the winner.

"Japh's got great pedigree, he's got a great CV in terms of games at the top level and playing in Europe," manager Neil Harris said after Saturday's win.

"Sometimes you have to be a different player here, and the reason I'm at the football club is to try and teach the players what a Millwall player looks like, whether that's a goalkeeper or a center-half or a center-forward.

"All I said to Japh was just to make your decisions and I'll support you, but you can be as aggressive as you like.

“Ultimately, he's headed the ball a lot [in both boxes] and to be a good Millwall center-half you have to do that."
