| Arsenal reportedly wanted Clinton N'Jie before completing Tottenham deal |
LYON have revealed that another club attempted to sign striker Clinton N'Jie before his move to Tottenham.
The 22-year-old Cameroonian put pen to paper on a five-year deal at White Hart Lane earlier today, costing Spurs a reported £12million.
But before the deal was complete, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas revealed the club had received a last-ditch offer from another Premier League club.
He said: "Clinton Njie’s departure is not complete. We have received an offer from another big English club which is complicating things."
And according to French publication L’Equipe, the mystery club in question was Arsenal, who hoped to scupper their north London rivals' deal.
