Lyon and Nice hoping to beat Marseille to signing of Tottenham striker Clinton N’Jie on loan

Lyon and Nice are both hoping to gazump Marseille in the race to land Tottenham flop Clinton N'Jie.

The young striker, who failed to score a goal during his first season at Spurs, is set to leave White Hart Lane on loan this summer.

And he is expected to join Marseille for the coming season with an obligatory clause to buy him outright for £6million should he make a certain numner of apperances for the French side.

But, according to L'Equipe, two other Ligue 1 clubs have now joined the race and hope to turn his head with the promise of European football.

Marseille finished a disappointing 13th place last term while Lyon and Nice finished second and fourth respectively.

And, although a move to the Stade Velodrome appears on the cards, N'Jie might yet change his mind at the last minute.
