On Tuesday evening, Yahoo! Sport journalist Manu Lonjon explained in his Periscope Q&A session that Tottenham Hotspur’s Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is a ‘priority’ target for Saint-Etienne.
It was also claimed the Ligue 1 outfit will have to offload a few of their players before they can make an approach for the 23-year-old. Jean-Louis Gasset saw his player, Romain Hamouma suffer an injury in his side’s 1-1 draw against Strasbourg in the league.
According to France Football, the north London club’s winger has been on the radar of the Les Verts and Hamouma’s setback has seen Les Verts accelerate their efforts in signing the attacker.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side signed N’Koudou from Marseille on a five-year deal in 2016 and he has struggled to hold on to a place in the starting XI at Spurs.
The report claims he is close to leaving the English side for Saint-Etienne as all parties would ‘close to an agreement’, expected to be a loan move with an option to buy.
