Tottenham attacker Georges-Kevin N’Koudou surely doesn’t have a long-term future at the club and he’s turned out to be a poor £9million (BBC) signing that was completed in 2016.

The 23-year-old has struggled to make a serious impact int he Spurs first team and even flopped out on loan with Burnley last season.

He’s made just one senior appearance this campaign in the Carabao Cup, but he should be given a rare outing on Friday night in the FA Cup tie away to Tranmere Rovers.

Spurs face League Two opposition and should give N’Koudou the chance to put himself in the January shop window with a strong display.

The French winger doesn’t have the quality to make it as a regular under Mauricio Pochettino, but could perhaps do a job elsewhere.

According to Sky Sports, Spurs are willing to listen to permanent or loan offer for the speed machine in January.

N’Koudou would be a risk for most teams given the fact he’s played just 27 minutes of football this season, which is why using him in the cup against Tranmere could help attract suitors.

He is a technically gifted ace that is a strong dribbler, but just lacks end product and is nowhere near the likes of Heung-Min Son or Lucas Moura.
