Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing France youth international Georges-Kevin N’Koudou, according to Sky Sports and L’Equipe.
The Premier League side, who finished third in the English top-flight standings last term after being pipped to the runners-up spot by North London rivals Arsenal on the final day, have been linked with a move for the highly-rated Marseille winger ahead of the forthcoming 2016/17 campaign.

The 21-year-old, who has featured six times for France’s Under-21 side, scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 41 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit last season.
N’Koudou, who began his senior career at fellow French outfit Nantes, only joined Marseille back in June 2015 following his £1m switch.
However the report suggests that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on luring the young French forward to White Hart Lane, with reports in his home country suggesting that a fee of £10.8m has been agreed between the two clubs and he will soon fly to London for a medical.
