Georges-Kevin N’Koudou will undergo a medical at Tottenham in the next 48 hours after the Lilywhites agreed a fee with Marseille.
The London Evening Standard have it that Spurs will pay in the region of £10.8million for the winger who scored 10 goals in all competitions last season.
Mauricio Pochettino has certainly kept everyone guessing this summer.
For several months, it was believed that he was targeting Michy Batshuayi, but Spurs never made a bid for the Belgian, who has since joined Chelsea. Instead, it is his former Marseille team-mate who Pochettino is keen to bring to the Premier League.
N’Koudou would be the club’s third signing of the summer after Victor Wanyama from Southampton and Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar.
It’s a remarkably low fee for a player who still has four years left on his contract, but Tottenham are doing some very smart business this transfer window.
Clinton N’Jie could form part of the deal as he’s understood to be keen on a switch to Marseille on loan after struggling to settle at Spurs.
