New Tottenham Hotspur winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou says he is targeting more goals and assists with his new club.
New Tottenham Hotspur winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou has told the club’s official website that he is aiming to bring both goals and assists with him to Tottenham this season.
The young French winger – who signed from Marseille on transfer deadline day for a reported fee of around £11 million – was voted the 30th best player in Europe by UEFA last season, after scoring 10 goals across 41 matches in all competitions – as well as assisting a further seven goals.
Now, after joining Tottenham, the 21-year-old winger is looking to build upon his impressive performance last term, and is targeting more goals and assists for his new club.
“Scoring 10 goals isn’t too bad for a player in my position,” N’Koudou told Tottenham’s official website. “Hopefully I will score more this year. It will happen as time goes by.
“I did score quite a few goals last season, but scoring goals myself or assisting my teammates is the same for me.
“When I enter the pitch I just want to play well, put on a good performance, listen to what people can teach me, and show my strengths within the team in order to get better.”
As well as scoring 10 goals for Marseille last season, N’Koudou also made somewhat of a reputation for himself as a player with an eye for the spectacular – scoring a number of stunning goals across the course of the season.
A player who is confident with both feet, and able to run directly at his man in order to get his team up the field, the young winger is also renowned for his blistering pace.
“I was born that way. I’ve always had my explosiveness and speed,” N’Koudou explained.
“I’ve kept these qualities and I can’t wait to show them on the pitch. I don’t know how I got them, but I intend to use them as best I can.”
N’Koudou could make his Tottenham debut next week, with Spurs set to travel to Mark Hughes’ Stoke on September 10.
