Published on August 22, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sell French midfielder Georges-Kevin Nkoudou to Turkish Super League side Besiktas.
Nkoudou joined Spurs from Olympique de Marseille in 2016 but struggled to make an impact at the north London club, making 27 appearances in all competitions.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but British media reported Spurs will receive 4.6 million pounds for the 24-year-old.
Nkoudou's only goal for Spurs came in a Champions League group stage match against APOEL Nicosia in 2017, and he has had spells on loan to Burnley and AS Monaco.
"It's now time for me to leave this great club that is Tottenham," Nkoudou wrote on Twitter after signing a four-year deal with Besiktas.
"Even though our story wasn't the one I hoped for when I arrived here, I still feel like I learned a lot, as a player and as a man," he added.
