2. Georges-Kevin N’Koudou
For the life of me, I can’t understand why the French winger can’t get a start in a meaningful match. He is the only player at Pochettino’s disposal who can provide the club real width in the final third.
Is he perfect? No. Then again, neither is Son Heung-Min. Nonetheless, the Korean continues to find himself in the starting XI while N’Koudou struggles to find minutes off the bench. The Europa League will give N’Koudou a real chance to play big time minutes against quality competition.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him excel under the lights at Wembley. The larger pitch could really allow him to utilize his pace. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could earn some Premier League starts with strong Europa League performances.
Repeat after me Spurs fans. Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is not Clinton N’Jie. He’s shown much more quality in his brief time at Tottenham. He needs more match time to gain his manager’s trust.
