London’s Moroccan connection come face to faceAccording to Charlton ace Talal El Karkouri, Nourdinne Naybet was Tottenham’s shrewdest signing of the season.
Morocco’s central defensive partnership come face-to-face at The Valley tonight.
And £1million El Karkouri, one of the bargains of the season, is a big fan of Spurs’ 35-year-old defender, who joined in the summer from Deportivo La Coruna for £750,000.
El Karkouri, 28, said: “I have 55 caps with Morocco and most were next to Naybet. He’s a fine player and a brilliant character in the dressing room.
“When you look at all the young players in the team, he’s doing a very important job.”
