Tottenham and Leeds pair have both struggled for first team football.
Tottenham Hotspur star Georges-Kevin N’Koudou has struggled ever since signing for Tottenham in 2016.
He has not made a single Premier League start since his £11 million move from Marseille, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino clearly not convinced.
During the international break N’Koudou caught up with another player who has found it even tougher.
N’Koudou met up with Leeds United’s forgotten man Amadou Haidara, who has not made a single first team appearance.
Haidara arrived at Leeds on the same day as N’Koudou joined Spurs, but with no fanfare at all, with his acquisition not even announced by the club.
Haidara has had to make do with playing solely for Leeds United’s under-23 team since he signed, and his prospects of making the first team are no clearer than when he joined.
N’Koudou may be closer to making Tottenham’s team, but he also needs to kick on – he has played just one minute of Premier League football this season.
Perhaps a mid-season heart to heart between both players may help inspire each of them to kick on.
