Southampton should make a move for the Tottenham Hotspur winger.
According to a report from De Telegraaf, Southampton star Dusan Tadic is on the verge of completing a €17.1 million (£15 million) switch to Ajax, and Mark Hughes will obviously have to bring in an able bodied replacement for the Serbian.
With this in mind, the Saints should consider a loan move for Tottenham’s Georges-Kévin N’Koudou, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Burnley.
The 23-year-old has struggled to adapt to life in England, since making his £11 million switch from Marseille to Tottenham in the summer of 2016, but with two seasons of experience now under his belt, he might just be ready to fulfil his obvious potential.
N’Koudou can play anywhere along the front-line and possesses pace in abundance. His direct style of play would undoubtedly help Southampton improve upon the potency of their play in the final third, and he could be just the tonic for the Saints when Tadic leaves the south coast.

A loan move to St Mary’s for the Frenchman would not only benefit Southampton, but it would also serve both the player and Tottenham well, considering the fact that he would gain another year’s experience of playing in the Premier League.
N’Koudou is at the age now where he really needs to start producing, and a move to the Saints could provide him with the impetus that he needs to showcase his real talent.
A loan switch would suit all parties involved, and Southampton should not hesitate to make an enquiry for the winger.
