Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is the latest player to attract the attentions of Tottenham this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino has already added to his attacking options in the form of Netherlands striker Vincent Janssen since the transfer window opened but could now be set to strengthen his hand further.
Standard Sport understands Spurs have agreed a fee of £10.8m with Marseille for N’Koudou after stepping up talks with the 21-year-old in recent days.
Pochettino's preferred 4-2-3-1 formation means the Argentine coach requires a wealth of options in wide areas and N’Koudou, who can play on either flank, boasts a wealth of potential.
The midfielder made his professional debut for Nantes at the start of the 2013/14 season and moved to the Stade Velodrome for just £1m last summer.
He enjoyed an impressed debut season with Les Olympiens, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances last term.
Dribbling is regarded as one of N’Koudou's specialties and the versatile wide man completed an average of 2.3 per game while his passing accuracy stood at a respectable 82.1%.
N’Koudou has represented France at Under-21 level but is yet to make the step up to Didier Deschamps' senior side. Perhaps White Hart Lane could be the platform to prove that he is ready Les Bleus.
Pochettino's side are set to compete in the Champions League for only the second time in the club's history next season and will be keen to mark their return to Europe's top table with solid performances across all four competitions they will be involved in.
