Struggling to convince Mauricio Pochettino that he is good enough to be a semi-regular starter for Tottenham, it might be time for Georges-Kévin N’Koudou to call it a day at Wembley and move on.
Playing just 323 minutes of football last year spread over five competitions, the 22-year-old needs to revive his career in some shape or form, but it appears Spurs are getting in the way of that.
Reports emerged a few days ago that Hellas Verona were interested in a loan with a view to buy for the former France U21 international, but Gazzetta dello Sport report on Thursday the answer to that from the Tottenham hierarchy was a no, and specify it was a potential ‘sale’, not a temporary deal.
Unless Mauricio Pochettino actually wants to keep him around for the current campaign in case of injuries, this seems like an odd move.
Either that, or they still have some faith in him, and a ‘dry’ loan, with no option to buy, is their preferred option.
With rumours that Tottenham could end up picking up Jadon Sancho from Manchester City for a reported £3m compensation, you have to wonder if the club are simply waiting to see if that goes through before sending the former Marseille star on his way.
