Spurs flop N'Jie set for permanent Marseille switch

The Cameroon international failed to establish himself in north London following his arrival in 2015 and moves back to Ligue 1

Tottenham have confirmed that flop signing Clinton N'Jie is set to complete a permanent switch to Marseille, where the forward spent last season on loan.

The Cameroon international moved to White Hart Lane in 2015, but made only 14 appearances in a spell disrupted by injury.

The arrival of Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou last summer ensured he was surplus to requirements, and he was allowed to leave by Mauricio Pochettino.

He featured 23 times for Ligue 1 side Marseille in the 2016-17 campaign, scoring four goals.
