Tottenham flop Clinton Njie has hit a new career low – with a Romanian club ripping up his contract.
The Cameroon striker joined Spurs from Lyon for £8.3million in 2015.

However, he failed to start a single Premier League game, and remained goalless in 14 senior appearances.
Njie went on to play for Marseille, Dynamo Moscow and Turkish club Sivasspor before moving to Rapid Bucharest last September.
He signed a deal until 2026, with the Romanians announcing him in a bizarre video alongside former US president Bill Clinton.
But Njie made just a dozen appearances, scoring twice, and has not played for the capital city side since February 2.
They have now parted company with the 31-year-old, who has won 42 Cameroon caps.
Rapid issued a terse statement on social media.
They announced: “FC Rapid and Cameroonian striker Clinton Njie reached an amicable agreement for the termination of the collaboration.
“Thank you, Clinton! Good luck in your career.”

Njie said: “I thank everyone at Rapid for this period, colleagues, staff and supporters.
“It was an intense experience, in a club with a special history and atmosphere.
“I wish the boys the best of luck next season, and I hope Rapid gets where it deserves to be.”
Rapid finished sixth in Romania‘s Liga 1. They last won the national title in 2003.
To add to Njie’s woes, a French court has ordered him to pay a car rental firm £56,000.
The trial at Aix-en-Provence heard the footballer leased a Bentley worth £275,000 in 2017, but stopped making payments when he left for Dynamo Moscow two years later.
