When it comes to finding the artillery to support Harry Kane at Tottenham, it’s safe to say that Daniel Levy and his advisors haven’t exactly had the best of luck.

Following the sale of Gareth Bale, Spurs spent money to sign Roberto Soldado but he would only provide the Lilywhites with a measly return of 16 goals.

Then there was Dutch striker Vincent Janssen, a player whose career has rather been ruined by the spell he had in the Premier League.

Indeed, he missed 50 matches and a whopping 292 days through injury, all while finding the net on just six occasions following a £17m move, meaning he cost Levy and co the best part of £3.3m per goal.

However, at least he found the net, something that £12m acquisition Clinton Njie failed to do.

He spent just one full season in north London before he was sent packing to Marseille on loan and was then never seen in a Spurs shirt again.

Njie arrived in England as an exciting talent, a player blessed with pace that could frighten defenders to death.

Yet, once the opposition worked out that’s all he could do, the threat was a little less severe. During his time with Tottenham, it’s safe to say that the forward was stealing a living, rarely coming up with the goods at all.

He failed to score during his 13 appearances for the club and cost them an additional £1.9m in wages for his year at White Hart Lane.

The statistics become more damning when you dig a little deeper too. In the league, he lost possession every 13 minutes and managed just four shots inside the penalty area.

Although you can accuse Spurs of not giving him a fair opportunity, the qualities he showed when he did get on the pitch provided enough evidence that he wasn’t up to the task.

His lack of goals indicates that rather alarmingly, he was worse than both Soldado and Janssen at Spurs, an eventuality that will only befall the very biggest of flops.

Indeed, a “flop” was precisely what he was described as by La Provence OM upon his move to France and his career since hasn’t been the best.

Many have lamented his shooting and indeed, he is the proud owner of ‘the worst shot in the history of major European finals.’

Since departing Spurs permanently, Njie has played for Marseille and Dinamo Moscow where he has scored an underwhelming 21 goals in 145 goals. Sadly he never was and never will be Premier League quality.
