LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur have boosted their depleted forward line by signing Cameroon international Clinton Njie from Olympique Lyonnais for an undisclosed fee on Saturday. “We’re delighted to announce the signing of Clinton Njie, subject to international clearance and work permit,” the club said in a statement. The 22-year-old, who has scored six goals in 11 appearances for his country, can play centre forward or in one of the wide attacking positions and has signed a five-year contract with Spurs, who finished fifth last season. Njie managed eight goals for Lyon in 33 appearances last term as they finished runners-up behind Paris St Germain. Spurs, who lost 1-0 to Manchester United in their opening Premier League match of the season, only have Harry Kane as a recognised striker after selling the under-performing Roberto Soldado to Villarreal on Friday.
