The Tottenham Hotspur winger could get another chance to impress this week.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Georges-Kevin N’Koudou has been photographed in training as his side prepare for their midweek clash against Brighton and Hove Albion, and the Frenchman will be hoping to build on his recent goal against APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League.
N’Koudou has been something of an enigma since he joined Tottenham from Marseille, exciting in the few appearances he has managed but rarely suggesting he can do it for an entire match.
That changed when the 22-year-old started the Champions League dead-rubber, scoring his first goal in a Tottenham shirt and looking every inch like a player with a point to prove.
While N’Koudou was not in the squad for Saturday’s Premier League game against Stoke City, Mauricio Pochettino’s squad rotation – and the upcoming clash with Manchester City – means the winger may get another chance to prove his worth against the Seagulls.
N’Koudou has only managed a single minute in the league this season, but he could well get more on Wednesday, with a potential second-half run-out from the bench the most likely option.
As long as he features to some extent, the Tottenham wide man will understand the importance of building on his fine showing against APOEL, especially with the matches coming thick and fast over Christmas and the New Year.
