Tottenham agree fee for Marseille winger N’Koudou

Tottenham and Marseille have reportedly agreed a transfer fee for Georges-Kevin N'Koudou.

The Guardian is reporting that Spurs are prepared to pay £10.9million for the highly-rated 21-year-old winger with a deal likely to be complete early in the new week.

N'Koudou impressed in his debut season for Marseille with 10 goals and five assists in 41 outings after joining from Nantes on a five-year deal last summer.

The France U21 international has been closely watched by the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and West Ham United in recent times but it appears as though Mauricio Pochettino has won the race for his signature.

It is also understood that Marseille received an offer from German club Hamburg while there has been formal interest from Spanish outfit Sevilla and Premier League side Bournemouth but permission has been given for N'Koudou to undergo a medical with Tottenham.

The youngster, who came through PSG's academy, will travel to London in the next day or so before putting pen to a five-year deal with Spurs.
