Georges-Kevin N’Koudou could be considered one of Tottenham’s biggest transfer flops of recent years – and there has been a few.
The winger only have cost us £9m from Marseille in 2016 – fee according to BBC Sport – but even that is a lot to fork out for 27 appearances, all but four of which were as a substitute, and one goal in three seasons.
The very same bloke did this last night for Besiktas:

And now some Spurs fans on Twitter are wondering if we let the 25-year-old go too early? Revisionist thinking at its absolute finest.
didn’t get his chance at spurs had a great cross on him

He was one player that was unfairly let go. He never ever got a chance to prove himself properly. One of those players Poch was never going to like. That’s my only criticism of Poch was the way he just froze out certain players.

Never was given a chance. Glad he’s doing well in Turkey

Never given a chance, even when we were desperate for some pace

Yes, Nkoudou never got a chance…because he was pants.
He went on loan to Burnley and barely played there either. At Burnley.
One lucky swing of the left foot and suddenly he’s the one that got away?

He is right footed as well. It may only be turkish football but that goal is top draw, nothing lucky about that. It takes skill and technique and timing to strike a ball on the volley like that with your weak foot.. Great run and goal. Trick is doing that week in week out though. I would have liked to have seen him play more for us. Tough though being in sons position.
Nice goal. He’ll be best remembered for a peach of a ball for Harry Winks to head home for a very later winner against Fulham. That and the time he tried to run with the ball but ran it straight out of play with nobody around him. That was comical.
WOW!
