Cornet is a blazing winger

It is absurd that Spurs still try to sign wingers from France despite failing with the likes of Clinton N’Jie and Kevin-Georges N’Koudou. Maybe they believe that someday, they will finally be able to hit gold in the French Ligue 1.

And this time, they are looking at Lyon youngster, Maxwel Cornet, who has a release clause of only £7 million, something which can easily afford with relatively less risk involved. The 21-year-old is a speed-gun that can outpace any defender—much akin to what N’Koudou could do—and has raw power to outmuscle his direct opponent.

However, Spurs aren’t the only club interested in the Lyon man as Borussia Dortmund are also interested in the winger and will provide tough competition to the English outfit.
