The Importance of selling Georges-Kevin N'Koudou

It's important for Spurs to tie up the sale of Georges-Kevin N'Koudou quickly

Transfer Talk

The importance of selling Georges-Kevin N'Koudou can't be overstated.

If Fenerbahçe Sporting Director Damien Comolli, who is in London negotiating now, can reach an agreement over a fee for 23-year-old (24 next February) French winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and perhaps for 24-year-old (25 next June) Dutch international striker Vincent Janssen, then Spurs will have created a space to sign a non-homegrown player.

Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, who has an unsuccessful loan spell at Burnley last season while Vincent Janssen broke his leg when on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahçe.

Currently, we have our full quota and thus need to move a, or some, non-homegrown players out before we can bring signings in.

I have spoken before about preparing yourself for a transfer window. You can't make early signings if you have no available slots, otherwise buying clubs can then hold you to ransom over fees, knowing you are forced to sell or have someone ineligible to play in the Premier League.

Fans call for players to be paid high wages, the problem with that is that you then limit who you can sell players to, most clubs would want to pay players deemed a failure at Spurs lower wages, which makes selling them extremely difficult.
