In June 2015, N'Koudou completed a move to Marseille for £1 million.[3] His performances during the 2015–16 season led to him finishing 30th in UEFA's Best Player in Europe poll.[4]
Tottenham Hotspur
On 31 August 2016, N'Koudou was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for a reported fee of £11 million, signing a five-year deal with the club.[5] He made his Spurs debut against Gillingham in the League Cup when he came on in the 60th minute for Christian Eriksen, this was followed by a very short debut in the league when he came on in the 90th minute against Middlesbrough.[6][7] He made 17 appearances for the club in the 2016–17 season, mostly as substitutes and starting only in two games – an EFL Cup game against Liverpool on 25 October 2016 and an FA Cup tie against Wycombe Wanderers on 28 January 2017.[8]
In his first start of the 2017–18 season, N'Koudou scored his first goal for Tottenham in the Champions League group match against APOEL on 6 December 2017 that ended in a 3–0 win.[9][10]
Burnley (loan)
On 8 January 2018, Nkoudou completed a loan move to Premier League club Burnley until the end of the 2017–18 season.[11][12] He failed to break into the first team regularly and was mainly a back-up to Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson, going on to make eight appearances.[13]
