Auxerre midfielder Delvin Ndinga has revealed the interest of Tottenham and Newcastle United.
The 23 year-old DR Congo international attracted enquiries from several European clubs during the summer market, but favours staying in France at this stage in his career.
"Several foreign clubs were interested: Newcastle, Tottenham, Napoli, Genoa and Sevilla. But I'm still not ready to play abroad.
"For me, I must first go through a big French club like Lyon or Marseille," said Ndinga.
