Tottenham have agreed a deal with Marseille for winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, after it appeared that the deal had initially collapsed.

Spurs will pay around €11m for the winger, who looked set to join the north London club a numbr of weeks ago.

However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wanted to restructure payments which included paying a smaller up-front sum, something which Marseille were not prepared to accept.

The deal will also see striker Clinton Njie move to Marseille on a season-long loan after the Cameroonian endured a disappointing first season at White Hart Lane.

Nkoudou played 41 games for Marseille last season, scoring 10 goals.
