The deal looks to be done after weeks of speculation.
Tottenham’s Clinton Njie
Clinton Njie is expected in Marseille in midweek to complete his loan switch to the Ligue 1 side, according to RMC Sport.
The report claims that the terms of the deal, which will see Georges-Kevin Nkoudou head to Spurs, were agreed on Friday but that the paperwork was only signed by Tottenham today.

Njie will join the French club on a season-long loan with an option to purchase him outright for 7 million euros next summer.
Meanwhile, Nkoudou will reportedly join Spurs on a permanent deal for 11.5 million euros (£9.9 million) and the switch is expected to be officially confirmed in the coming hours.

The transfer has been one of the most drawn out sagas of the summer, with Nkoudou allegedly staying in a London hotel for the past month after completing his medical back in July.
His fitness levels will surely be a concern and it remains to be seen how long it will take before the 21-year old is ready to be utilised by Mauricio Pochettino.

Clinton Njie’s departure is intriguing in itself, with the Cameroonian struggling with injury in his debut season and making just 14 appearances.
Many Spurs fans feel like the winger never had a chance to impress but Pochettino has worked with him on a day-to-day basis and his decision to send him back to France suggests he has not been convinced of his quality.
