Tottenham expert issues Tanguy Ndombele fear after 2/10 L’Equipe rating
Tottenham will be “stuck” with Tanguy Ndombele this summer.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
On 9 April a Spurs source told Football Insider that there is no future for Ndombele, 25, at the club even if, as expected, Lyon do not trigger the £50million-plus option in his deal.
The midfielder joined Lyon in the January window after failing to impress Antonio Conte.
Wenham expects Ndombele to return to the club but fears there will be limited suitors.
“Ndombele was disappointing for Lyon as they were beaten by West Ham last week,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He got a two out of 10 in L’Equipe. It does look like he will be coming back to us and we will be stuck with him.
“I just hope we have some kind of plan in place for him because, as I have said before, I don’t want him back at the club or in the squad.
“I wonder if we will only be able to get rid of him on loan next season.
“He can’t get back into our team, I think that’s clear. Will anyone pay what we want? I doubt it.”
Ndombele made nine Premier League appearances and four in the domestic cups before his loan move.
He scored and assisted once but has proved to be a key player for Lyon, making 14 total appearances so far.
