Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will not have an easier decision to make this summer amid reported interest in attacker Georges-Kevin N’Koudou from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
Sabah has claimed on their website that N’Koudou is being lined up for a summer move by Fenerbahce – and Pochettino must take this chance to bin the 23-year-old right now.
N’Koudou has been a complete flop since he was snapped up by Spurs in 2016.
He has made just 23 appearances in all competitions for the North London club and was shipped out on loan to Burnley for the second half of last season, where he again failed to impress.
If the former France Under-21 international can’t cut it at Turf Moor, then he’s definitely never going to be good enough to play regularly for a team like Tottenham, and they must look to get rid of him this summer.
It’s a surprise that N’Koudou is even attracting attention from a top-flight European club like Fenerbahce given how poorly he has performed in England.
According to statistics website Spotrac, he is robbing £35,000-a-week, which is a fairly high wage for someone who is clearly nowhere near good enough for Pochettino’s first team.
And given how strictly managed the wage budget is at the club, Daniel Levy will no doubt breath a sigh of relief once N’Koudou is off it.
