In a throw back to the classic Wenger years, we've apparently moved to steal Clinton Njie from under Sp*rs nose, he seemed all set to join them, but has now removed the posts he had on social media about joining Spurs and has returned to normal service.
Apparently a figure at Lyon confirmed that he was set to join spurs, but a 'more fashionable' English club has joined the race.

Now, I don't really watch Ligue 1, so have little to no firsthand experience of it, but I did a bit of reading and learnt;

He's only had one full season in the Lyon first team, where he scored 8 goals in 33 games.

He's 23 years old and pretty fast and likes to use the odd bit of skill.

If anything, that sounds to me like a Wenger signing of old.
Young forward, starting to emerge on the scene, little know outside of France and Cameroon.

Not exactly the Benzema/Reus/Higuain/Lewandowski, people linked with/wanted for us if true!

It does remind me of when we stole Park from under Lille's nose though!

That all being said, there's no real evidence we've moved for him.
The Lyon figure said a English club had moved for him, so knowing our media, they could of just noticed the attributes I put above and decided that fits the bill of a Wenger deal!

He has now, completed his move to Spurs.

A decent bargain for them if he works out!

Hi D_, what hurts the most about your info is the fact it sounds so Wengeresc, so bloody true!

I would rather we didn't bother, i don't care if he's the next ronaldo or messi, its not the 'Next' we are looking for... Its the 'NOW'... We all know what happens when we get a good young 'next', they come good and f**k off to Barca!

Id rather an older player from Barca or Real like Benz, atleast he's had his La Liga experience and we can keep him till he finds a retirement-home American club!
