Tottenham striker N’Jie set for Marseille loan

Tottenham will send Clinton N'Jie to Marseille for a season-long loan, according to reports.

The Guardian is of the belief that the 22-year-old Cameroonian forward will head back to France for playing opportunities after as Mauricio Pochettino looks to get game time into the talent.

N'Jie joined Tottenham from Lyon for around £8million last summer but was restricted to just 14 appearances in all competitions due to injury and the presence of star striker Harry Kane and his back-up Son Heung-min.

The recent addition of prolific Dutch striker Vincent Janssen has seen N'Jie fall further down the White Hart Lane pecking order and it is expected that he will head to the Stade Velodrome from North London.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou but that deal is said to have nothing to do with N'Jie's impending loan.
