Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to Yahoo! Sport that Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is not doing enough to play for the first team.

N’Koudou is struggling for playing time at the moment and has been able to play only one minute in the Premier League so far this season, according to WhoScored.

The 22-year-old winger has been able to get only 16 minutes in the Champions League for Spurs so far this season, according to WhoScored.

The youngster has been on the books of Tottenham since the summer of 2016 when he joined from France club Marseille for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £10.9 million.

“GK, we are waiting for him still,” Pochettino told Yahoo! Sport about N’Koudou. “Today he’s not showing he’s in this condition to play.

“He needs to show more. You know if a player is not involved too much it’s because we believe that they need to show more and deserve to play.”

Pochettino’s comments suggest that he is not impressed with N’Koudou, and maybe the winger’s time at Tottenham is coming to an end.
