N’Koudou has been linked with a move away from Spurs for the entire January window.

Turkish outlet Sporx have claimed that Besiktas have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a six-month loan deal for out-of-favour winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from Spurs for much of the window, along with strikers Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen. However, his cameo role against Fulham suggested he could stay.

With the score at 1-1, N’Koudou came on in the 86th minute as a last roll of the dice by Mauricio Pochettino and the Frenchman’s exquisite cross was met by midfielder Harry Winks who headed Spurs to three points.

His short appearance against Fulham was just his second appearance of the season, and he remains firmly down the pecking order at Spurs behind the likes of Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min.

With Son set to return by February 1, N’Koudou remains surplus to requirements and that has seen Besiktas look to lure the ex-Marseille star to Turkey after losing Ryan Babel to Fulham, and potentially Ricardo Quaresma to FC Porto.

The report claims a deal has been struck between Spurs and Besiktas with N’Koudou going on loan to the Vodafone Arena until the end of the season. Perhaps surprisingly, Spurs have asked for a permanent clause not to be included.
