Tottenham signing Clinton Njie admits his agent fielded an approach from Arsenal.

The striker left Lyon for Spurs yesterday.

He told L'Equipe: “I've never been afraid that my transfer to Tottenham would not materialise. I never had the leaders of Arsenal on the phone, they only contacted my agent. My choice was made, I was determined to join Tottenham.

“Here I will evolve under the orders of Mauricio Pochettino, a coach who plays youngsters and progresses. Thursday, after my arrival in London and medical tests, he greeted me with the president, Daniel Levy, to tell me he hoped I would be available as soon as possible. When I arrived in Europe, it was a goal and a dream of playing in the Premier League one day."
