I’m really sorry, it’s not much.

PRITCHARD/WIJNALDUM – Ojay on (on another site) who I’m sure had some itk in the past but i dont remember what it was:
on pritchard: He is 100% going
when asked if opinion: No, fact

this was in the middle of a discussion about him going to the barcodes, with possibly winjaldum going the other way….

Ojay again, in response to someone saying ‘shame we are letting pritch go’: Agreed but it’s what poch wants…
N’KOUDOU – Tottenham agree deal to sign Georges-Kévin Nkoudou from Marseille for £11m

Having completed the purchase of the Holland striker Vincent Janssen last week, Mauricio Pochettino has been keen to make further additions to his squad before the start of the Premier League season. The Spurs head coach had considered an offer for the £20m-rated Lille playmaker Sofiane Boufal, who is also being monitored by Chelsea and Arsenal as he recovers from a knee injury, before settling on a move for Nkoudou instead last week.

The 21-year-old, who moved to the Stade Vélodrome last summer from Nantes for £1m, has been scouted by several other clubs including Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester United and scored 10 goals in all competitions last season.

But despite offers from Hamburg and interest from Bournemouth and Sevilla, Marseille have given Tottenham permission to begin negotiations over personal terms with Nkoudou, with the player likely to travel to London for a medical in the next 48 hours. It is believed he will sign a five-year contract after speaking to Pochettino on the phone at the end of last week.

The French club are also keen to take the Cameroon forward Clinton Njie on loan from Tottenham just a year after he joined from Lyon, although this is not understood to be part of the Nkoudou deal. Nkoudou was born in Versailles and began his career at Paris Saint-Germain before joining Nantes in 2013.

Another article on him here, praising his tenacity and willingness to work for the team.

@GFFN report that the French u21 is set to sign a 5 year contract with Spurs by Wednesday for 13 mllion
Euros.

Nkoudou was a standout performer for Marseilles last season scoring 10 goals in 41 matches in all competitions

Separately OM ant to loan Clinton, probably with a right to purchase him – both players have similarities in terms of height/speed/position so it seems logical, although other than one game against Monaco (where he was injured by a Monaco player) Clinton’s hardly played for Spurs so not easy for fans to evaluate…..
