The Tottenham Hotspur winger could be a useful addition for Southampton.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl is reportedly keen on singing a winger this month, with Everton’s Ademola Lookman thought to be one of his key targets.

The Toffees ace wont come cheap, however.

With this mind, the Saints should consider making a move for Tottenham winger Georges-Kévin NKoudou instead.

The 23-year-old is allegedly available for around £10 million this month, according to a report from the Telegraph, less than half of what Lookman would cost, and despite his struggles in north London, he could turn out to be a useful addition for Southampton.

NKoudou joins Spurs from Marseille in the summer of 2016, for around £11 million, but he has desperately struggled to establish himself in north London.

That isn’t to say that he doesn’t still have a lot to offer, however, and if given the opportunity of regular game-time under Hasenhüttl at St Mary’s, he could very well go on to fulfil his outstanding potential.

The young Frenchman possesses blistering pace, and he proved away at Fulham on Sunday how useful he can be with his deliveries into the box.

£10 million for a player with Nkoudou’s potential, in today’s day and age, really could represent somewhat of a bargain, and Hasenhüttl should take a point on the Tottenham winger.

It could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Southampton.
