The deal to sign Clinton N’Jie from Lyon has been edging closer over the past couple of weeks and according to reports from the French paper L’Equipe, a fee has been agreed for the versatile forward.
Able to play on the flanks and as a striker, N’Jie has the sort of pace that is currently lacking in the Spurs attack. Here’s how Twitter reacted to this development.

Njie is fast & skillful, may well develop into a top striker – he improved a lot last year – but he's still raw and unproven at top level

Every Cameroon post-match presser at the Cup of Nations this year was dominated by Clinton Njie, mainly, "Why did he not play?"

Clinton Njie is the first attacking signing we are going to make since Summer 2013 #COYS

Clinton Njie a really promising raw talent. But emphasis still on raw. Think Spurs paying over the odds, good deal for Lyon. #OL #THFC #COYS

If you want to polish up Njie's goal record last season its actually 7 in 15 starts

Sounds like one for the future and the Europa League. Not going to help Kane in the short-term so Berahino still required.
Agreed berahino would be a wise move if possible . If not Austin would also be a good match as backup to Kane. I’d have both with yarmolenko and a dm
Partly agree with Azas not Austin though
Right start Finally..
Now get d Bera.. or Yarma.. or Austin
Good job MrLevy n Poch n backroom staff
Come on ye Spurs
Don’t know anything about him if I’m truthful. But getting more and more cheesed off that virtually all the players we sign are for the future and not now. How about Levy dropping the ticket prices until they mature into first teamers.
Got to get a proven Prem goalscorer and got to get Bender !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot get rid of 3 midfielders and not replace. Have known this for over a month and now the season starts, yet again we are panicking !!
Will believe it when it is official.Still time for Levy to f… It up.
That’s a bit harsh no? Not sure why there is much antipathy towards Levy. At the end of the day he brought in seven players upon advisement and has since bargained hard to get rid of them.
We are about to build one of the most fantastic looking stadiums in years to pitch us somewhere near the top teams financially. We also have a very astute marketing team headed by the man himself who have negotiated millions more in revenue through the egg football deal… I think we should be thankful we have him.
In fact the only thing he has done wrong is appoint that toe jam deuche Italian… and he’s about to put that right!
Now Yarmilenko, and the little pea for please…. Plus Bender if we can get him!
Bender for DM and then yarmolenko on right wing, Chicharito as back up to Kane. Easily affordable for spurs now and even more so if we get rid of Lennon, Soldado and Adebayor and even Townsend can go.
Levy stop being so tight a pay d 20 million required for a desperately need berahino he is young English and premier league proven so he is clearly worth it and would complement Kane’s attributes get him in before City decide to
Hmm i wouldnt take him, instead i would take both austin and berahino. Berahino in the future and austin for current. We dont need a dm since dier can compete bentaleb for that spot, dier played really well compared to bentaleb at old trafford. Alli can play cm, conpeting with mason. I would put eriksen on lw, moussa on cam and chdli on the right. Moussa is a bit slow but he can hold the ball, long enough for kane/eriksen to make a run which is why him playing there is probably the most effective place for him.
Berahino & Yarmolenko would walk straight into our first 11 & instantly upgrade us either side of Eriksen! Add a DM & a champions league push is seriously on the cards! COYS!!!
yeh it’s time we bought world class quality and not ‘chancers’ we are a big club so we need marquee players, lamela, Townsend, Adebayor, soldonkey and that other hack bentaleb have got to go. really we don’t even have a team it’s disappointing when you pay 50 quid a game.
