Spurs believed they had found their Bale, but after he “sapped” Levy, they lost out on a “awful signing”

 

“And there was Cristiano Ronaldo, who was a Manchester United player. They played the way I like to play, which is to dribble and challenge defenders, so it inspired me.”

 

To be fair, N’Koudou did provide these skills; his quickness of movement and explosiveness made him an ideal match for a prominent position at a team like Tottenham.

Bale, Gareth

Podcaster Chris Miller criticized the “awful signing” and said that the chairman Daniel Levy was “sapped” by the Cameroon international’s miserable return to Tottenham, scoring just one goal and dishing out two assists in 27 games across all competitions.

 

After a series of fruitless loan stints, N’Koudou left Spurs for approximately £5 million back in 2019. It’s possible that he has since rebuilt his career.

 

This season in the Saudi Pro League, the star of Damac FC has finally lived up to the initial accusations that he was the Bale replication that Tottenham so desperately wanted, with 15 goals and four assists from just 19 league appearances.

Undoubtedly, situations are different, and Levy’s recent, bright-looking transfer deal may have been carried out with the wounds from past failures like this one still clearly visible.
