Visa holding up Njie and M'Koudou moves

Visa holding up Njie move

The Clinton Njie smokescreen may soon be lifted. When a player is due to be sold he oftem has a mystery injury that prevents him from playing or training with a squad. Gareth Bale had a mysterious injury for a long time and refused to come out of the changing room or be seen in a Tottenham shirt when we went to Hong Kong.

The situation with Clinton Njie is a little different, although it isn't as one website has tried to portray it, that he is going to tell Daniel Levy he wants to leave. Marseilles asked for him as part of the Georges-Kevin N'Koudou deal, although it is claimed they are separate. Funny how one can't be completed without the other though, given N'Koudou has already passed a medical, as has Njie at Marseille.

Mauricio Pochettino and Paul Mitchell spoke to Njie and told him he would be getting very little game time, He refused to leave saying he wanted to stay at Spurs. The Marseille President Vincent Labrune flew to London to try and talk him into a deal and convinced him to have a look around Marseille. That worked because if he wanted regular football he had to leave Spurs.

Rather than it being a blow to Spurs, as it is being portrayed by one website, it is a relief, it is what we want. He has had a year and not impressed enough on the training ground. If we want to be winners we have to be ruthless with players, deliver or go.

French Football News report that Njie has been waiting for a French visa and that has been the hold up over his transfer, which, as we can see, is holding up the N'Koudou transfer. Marseille are not releasing him until they have a replacement signed, sealed and delivered.
