Beşiktaş Football Director Ali Naibi speaking to beIN Sports revealed yesterday that Georges-Kevin N'koudou was arriving in Istanbul to complete his signing from Tottenham Hotspur.

"N'Koudou tomorrow (August 22) will pass the health checks successfully with our club will sign a 4-year contract. later described as one of France's new superstars and this performance at a young age, the  's important clubs transferred to Tottenham a player with very special talents".
We get the gist of that and he went on to stress that N'Koudou needed a new challenge, everything is a new challenge these days isn't it, the buzz phrase in football.

"Our club in line with our transfer policy this year and our current needs, a transfer we made today and tomorrow thinking. Tottenham to spend a very good summer camp, to be ready and the desire to come to our club N'Koudou's performance in the field will both excite our fans and provide full benefit to our team".
N'Koudou is expected to pass his medical today and sign a contract exchanging the navy blue and white of Tottenham for the black and white of Beşiktaş.
The contract he has accepted is for 4 years and he has cost £2.74 million (3m - $3.33m) plus a 50% sell-on clause.

It has been a long road trying to get rid of the 24-year-old (25 next February) as nobody was prepared to pay his existing £1.82m wages and he wasn't prepared to take a wage drop so every deal fell through. 

Thar equates to £35,000-a-week (38,290 - $42,514).

The deal he has been offered at Beşiktaş, with their favourable tax for millionaires is £21.83 million (€2m - $2.22m), basically the same as he is on at Tottenham. That tells you all you need to know about him really.

Money is clearly more important than football to him, totally the wrong mentality and one which has stalled his career.
