Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has officially left Tottenham Hotspur to ply his trade in Turkey.
Tottenham Hotspur duo Eric Lamela and Serge Aurier have reacted to Georges-Kevin Nkoudou’s Instagram message after he made his debut for Besiktas.
The 24-year-old, who had a torrid time at Tottenham in recent seasons, moved to Turkish top-tier side Besktias earlier this week for a fee in the region of £5 million, as reported by the Evening Standard.
Nkoudou came on as a substitute during Bestikas’ 3-0 win over Goztepe on Friday, as he will be hoping to earn regular time at the Turkish club.
Nonetheless, when Nkoudou took to express his delight on Instagram at making his debut for Besiktas, his former teammates, Lamela and Aurier sent these responses:
Nkoudou struggled to make a name for himself in North London despite arriving as a hot prospect a number of seasons ago.
He will be looking to revive his career in Turkey, and given his age, he will still have ambitions of making a return to England’s top-flight and proving he can compete at the top level.
As for Spurs, they are now shaping their squad in order to take that next step, with winger Ryan Sessegnon joining on Deadline Day, but he is yet to make his debut because he’s still on the sidelines with an injury.
Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping that Sessegnon, who had been hotly tipped to join a top-six side for some time, can make the step up that Nkoudou struggled to make.
