Georges-Kevin N’Koudou-B
N’Koudou is the real wild card in Tottenham’s summer transfer business. Many Spurs fans immediately conjure up images of Clinton N’Jie and dismiss his chances of helping the squad. I’m considerably more optimistic than most about his chances for Tottenham success.
I like his chances to succeed under Pochettino because of his obvious athleticism. The precocious starlet describes his own playing style as “explosive” and believes it’s perfectly suited for the Premier League. Time will tell if he’s right.
You can be sure that he’s going to get opportunities for Spurs pretty quickly. The club lacks any other natural wingers, which should make N’Koudou a natural option off of Pochettino’s bench.
The deal also gets a bit of an upgrade due to the pretty reasonable transfer fee. Paying somewhere between 12 and 15 million pounds for a player of his age, and experience level, is pretty solid business by Levy.
In the end, he’ll either be a bust or a 30 million pound player. I find the latter to be slightly more likely.
