The Tottenham Hotspur winger has struggled for minutes since arriving in England.
According to a report from romagiallorossa.it, AS Roma are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
The young Frenchman only arrived at White Hart Lane in the summer – after a protracted transfer saga – but he is now being tipped to leave on loan after struggling for game time in North London.
The latest report claims Roma’s sporting director is seeking a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is currently on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, and that he has asked Tottenham if they would be interested in parting company with N’Koudou.
The report claims that Roma would like any loan move to include a purchase option dependent on performances. However when you consider the 21-year-old’s impressive cameo appearances – and how long Spurs chairman Daniel Levy took to seal the deal – it would be bizarre to sell him so quickly.
A loan move could be an option, with N’Koudou managing only 36 minutes of Premier League football to date, but Tottenham still have the Europa League and domestic interests to consider.
His cameo performance in Tottenham’s FA Cup third round clash against Aston Villa spoke of better things to come, and for that reason alone it would be unlikely that Levy sanctions even a temporary deal regardless of Roma’s interest.
