Tottenham Hotspur look set to address their wing problems in the coming days with the arrival of Marseille talent Georges-Kevin N’Koudou seemingly on the verge of completion.

It is being reported that Spurs are set to sign the French under-21 international, who has already passed a medical with the club, for a fee in the region of £10.95 million – as reported by TF1.

But according to a report today, Spurs were not the only ones who had been keeping tabs on the former Nantes player.

The London Evening Standard has reported today that three other Premier League clubs all scouted the 21-year-old last season.

They claim that West Ham, Liverpool and Manchester United all had a look at the talented winger at some point last season.

The report claims that Spurs made the first move, and therefore beat the others to the punch.

West Ham would certainly have enjoyed nabbing another talented winger from Marseille, after the success of Dimitri Payet last season.

Whilst Liverpool and United are always on the hunt for top young talent to boost their ranks.

But it seems Spurs have won the race for the talented winger, much to the envy of their Premier League rivals it would seem.
