Hellas Verona reportedly want to take Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou
According to Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio, Hellas Verona are in talks to sign Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou on a season-long loan deal.
Spurs have had a fairly quiet summer so far, with Kyle Walker the only major departure, whilst Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez is set to complete his medical ahead of joining Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
With just over a week to go until the transfer deadline, Spurs should be active in the transfer market, and there may be players leaving the club as well as coming in over the coming days.
One player down the pecking order at Tottenham is winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, who joined Spurs from Marseille last summer having impressed in his native France.
The 22-year-old wide man failed to start a single Premier League game last season, making just eight substitute appearances to a total of 49 minutes, as he struggled to make an impression under Mauricio Pochettino.
Now, Sky italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Nkoudou could be heading out on loan before the transfer deadline, with Hellas Verona believed to be pursuing a season-long loan deal.
It’s claimed that Verona’s sporting director Filippo Fusco is working with Tottenham to try and seal a deal, which would be something of a coup for the Serie A side, who lost 3-1 to Napoli over the weekend.
Manager Fabio Pecchia may be keen to add more pace to his side, and with Nkoudou struggling for first-team football with Tottenham, a loan deal could make sense in the final days of the transfer window.
Spurs saw potential in Nkoudou when they signed him last summer, and whilst he may not have a role in Pochettino’s side right now, he could still make an impact in the future, meaning a loan move could be perfect, enabling him to return to North London next summer and fight for his place after a season of regular playing time.
