Is it time for Spurs to permanently axe N’Koudou in January?

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou’s time at Tottenham Hotspur is surely coming to an end.

N’Koudou has failed to feature in a single game for Spurs this season. And Mauricio Pochettino clearly does not favour him.

In Erik Lamela, Son Heung-Min, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura, Pochettino has five top class attacking midfielders to pick from.

And even Moussa Sissoko has been getting a few games for Spurs. If N’Koudou is below Sissoko in the pecking order, his future in North London looks bleak.

The former France under-21 international arrived at Tottenham for £11m. He came with a high reputation and fans expected big things from the youngster.

But N’Koudou has failed to live up to expectations. In over two years with the club, he is yet to start a single Premier League match.

In total, the 23-year-old has managed 23 appearances, scoring once against APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League.

Last season, he spent time on loan at Burnley but started just two Premier League games and failed to stake a claim for the Spurs squad.

Now aged 23, N’Koudou is no longer that bright young spark who could develop into a first-team player.

For the sake of his own career and for Spurs to trim their squad, it is time they put a permanent end to his nightmare spell in England.
