N’Koudou has been placed on the transfer list by Spurs despite starring in Sunday’s win over Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to sell Georges-Kevin N’Koudou despite his excellent cameo role on Sunday, with the Telegraph claiming they want £10million – and it could help them sign a top target.

The report claims that Spurs want as much as the eight-figure fee for the French winger, despite managing only two appearances all season in the form of two substitute appearances.

N’Koudou came off the bench in the 86th minute on Sunday with the score still at 1-1 between Spurs and Fulham, but it was the ex-Marseille ace who provided the magical touch to win the game – as his excellent cross met Harry Winks.

Now, Spurs are looking to sell N’Koudou despite his involvement on Sunday, and if they are able to rake in £10million then that could prove hugely beneficial in their reported pursuit of Hull City attacker Jarrod Bowen.

The Sun claim Spurs are willing to spend £15million to sign Bowen, who has been on fire for Championship side Hull this season – scoring 14 goals in 28 games. He has six in his last four, with Hull winning seven of their last 10 games.

Bowen is young, English and has the flair you would expect of Brazilian. Scoring a goal every two matches from out wide for Hull shows just how good he is, and how much better than the Championship he can be.

Bringing in £10million for N’Koudou then, would give Spurs a helping hand in their bid to lure Bowen to Wembley. Hull do want £20million – £5million more than Spurs are reportedly willing to pay. But selling N’Koudou could change that.

So selling the Frenchman may help the north Londoners finally strike a deal to land Bowen. In any case, offloading flop N’Koudou and signing Bowen would be excellent business by Daniel Levy.
