A Flop at Tottenham, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou Is Hot on Cristiano and Mitrovic’s Heels in the Race for the Golden Boot
Damac has won their last 4 matches in a row, and a player who flopped at Tottenham Hotspur is the crucial reason. Georges-Kevin N’Koudou signed for Spurs in 2016 only to make a paltry 11 Premier League appearances in the three years he was under contract at the North London side.
N’Koudou’s search for regular playing time saw him spend some time on loan at Burnley and Monaco, but he could not do enough to restart his career. Finally, he was let go from Spurs and joined Besiktas to ply his trade in Turkey. There, he managed only 19 goals in 94 appearances.
In August, Damac landed N’Koudou’s signature on a free transfer. Since then, he’s scored 14 goals in 16 appearances and scored in each of Damac’s last four games. This places them in 6th, only 7 points from the top three.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo (16) and Aleksandr Mitrovic (15) have scored more. N’Koudou also has 4 assists to his name. With teams relying on marquee signings to deliver, N’Koudou is a sign that hidden gems can also offer great value to Saudi teams.
