Njie agrees move to Marseille

TRANSFER TALK

It seems Vincent Labrune, the Marseille president, well president for the moment, has worked some magic and convinced Clinton Njie to join the French club.

Mauricio Pochettino both explained to him there was no future for him at Spurs and that there would be few opportunities for him to play. For his own development, it was better that he sought regular playing time elsewhere. That elsewhere was Marseille.

Franco Baldini has recommended him to Vincent Labrune, who then after negotiating a deal with Spurs flew to London to see Njie at his home. They both returned to France and Njie has looked around the facilities and listened to what MLabrune felt Marseille could do for his future.

That, according to French radio station RMC, has been a success. Clinton Njie has agreed to a move that will allow Georges-Kevin N'Koudou to join Tottenham and take his place in the squad.

Njie will be loaned to Marseille who will have an option to buy set at £5.84-million which will increase depending upon the number of games he plays
