As Tottenham Hotspur fans await their first signing of the summer, the winger has officially returned to France for good.
It was one of the worst kept secrets when it comes to Tottenham Hotspur transfer rumours this summer, but the club have finally confirmed they have agreed a deal to sell Clinton N’Jie to Marseille this summer.
The news was announced on Spurs’ official Twitter account on Sunday morning, days after it had been reported by the London Evening Standard that a £6million move had been agreed.
Still, it is another underwhelming story in a summer full of them and Tottenham fans will be hoping they soon get some better news in terms of new additions.
They have watched while Manchester City have made Kyle Walker the most expensive defender in footballing history, while N’Jie was never going to return to the first-team fold in North London having been quickly sent out on loan after one disappointing campaign.
But what about the new faces Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino needs to continue his side’s impressive recent achievements?
Another quality striker is a necessity this summer, as is a proven winger who can hit the ground running in the Premier League.
Getting rid of the deadwood is one summer activity all clubs have to do, but Tottenham fans will be praying the next official announcement is regarding a purchase not a sale or a stadium update.
