N’Koudou arrived after a long and protracted transfer saga throughout the summer. The French youngster ended up missing out on most of pre-season due to the issues between Spurs and his former club Marseille regarding the finalisation of a transfer.

He is therefore still playing catch up in training, and it certainly looked that way as he appeared to be feeling the heat in Mauricio Pochettino’s session.

N’Koudou has so far played just 53 minutes for Spurs and is still building on his fitness ahead of a potential Premier League debut.

Lopez was also a deadline day signing. Arriving on loan from Espanyol, with a view to a permanent deal, the Spaniard will have to bide his time as both Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm currently sit above him in the pecking order.

He will be biding his time and waiting to grab his chance at Spurs when it comes.
