DONE DEAL: Tottenham’s Georges-Kevin N’koudou completes loan to Monaco

It’s finished! As expected, Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer deadline day deals are of the outgoing variety and not the incoming. Here’s the first of the day: Spurs winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou is heading back out on loan, this time to Ligue 1 side Monaco until the end of the season. Spurs announced it officially just a few minutes ago on social media.

The bad news for Spurs is that the last we heard this loan does NOT include a mandatory purchase clause, so Spurs will need to hope that he impresses under Monaco new/old manager Leonardo Jardim so they are tempted to buy him outright this summer. Otherwise, it’s another window of trying to offload him to a place that will give Spurs actual money for him.

GKN just never seemed to fit in Spurs roster, and despite putting in a gorgeous cross to Harry Winks in a Premier League last-gasp win over Fulham a couple of weeks ago his game never lived up to the lofty heights of his social media presence. Hopefully he can make a splash in France, something he wasn’t able to do in a loan to Burnley last season.
