Reports from Italy claim that Spurs are close to a £5.2m deal to sign the Marseille defender Nicolas N’Koulou.
Out of contract at the end of the season, the Cameroon international fits the mould of a Mauricio Pochettino central defender. Good on the ball and pacy, N’Koulou looks to gave the raw tools needed to thrive in Poch’s high defensive line.
The same cannot be said for Federico Fazio. The Argentine has been linked with a move back to Sevilla and the purchase of N’Koulou could help to make that deal happen. Watch him in action below.
dont like look of his clips don’t stay on his feet and prem is quicker with divers leave him where he is .
Looks pacy, strong, great tackler, brilliant on the ball. Yes please, all day long. Sign him up. What an upgrade on Fazio and what we used to have! The Poch Revolution baby yeah!
Likes a lunge or two (a la Dawson) but more cultured, would definitely be an upgrade on Fazio, mind..
true defo upgrade always talking bout Lewis dunk from Brighton I know from lower league he looks good tho who ever comes in is a back anyway can’t see getting top cb to sit on bench .
