Nkoudou ready to take the Premier League by storm

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou might not be the most glamorous new name in the Premier League, but the winger intends to be explosive for new club Tottenham Hotspur.

A seemingly never-ending transfer saga was eventually concluded hours before Wednesday’s deadline, with Nkoudou, who had been training for weeks in north London, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal while Clinton N’Jie moved in the opposite direction to Marseille.

With Spurs yet to hit top-gear this term and Nacer Chadli departing for West Bromwich Albion, 21-year-old Nkoudou should be given his fair share of opportunities at White Hart Lane.

And the Frenchmen is itching to get going.

“I did score quite a few goals last season but scoring goals myself or assisting my team-mates is the same for me,” said Nkoudou.

“When I enter the pitch I just want to play well, put on a good performance, listen to what people can teach me and show my strengths within the team in order to get better.”

He continued: “I’ve always had my explosiveness and speed – I was born that way.

“I’ve kept these qualities and I can’t wait to show them on the pitch. I don’t know how I got them but I intend to use them as best I can!”
