Spurs close in on Lyon striker N'Jie

Lyon's president has confirmed striker Clinton N'Jie is close to joining Tottenham.

Tottenham is close to reaching an agreement with Lyon striker Clinton N'Jie, according to the French club's president Jean-Michel Aulas.

The 21-year-old Cameroon international enjoyed a breakthrough season at the Stade Gerland last term - scoring eight goals in 32 appearances across all competitions.

With Spurs desperate for attacking reinforcements to support Harry Kane, Aulas confirmed N'Jie was edging closer to a move to White Hart Lane.

"We are close to an agreement but there's no urgency for us," he told French radio station RMC.
