Tottenham Hotspur will likely be reunited with one of their loaness this January, in the form of Tanguy Ndombele.
He joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on the deadline day of the summer transfer window but has been nothing short of abysmal for the Super Lig side since arriving.
He’s averaging just 26 minutes a game in the league and a shocking 10 minutes per match in Champions League fixtures. He is also yet to complete a full 90 minutes.
Their boss has had enough. We could see Ndombele back with the first-team squad at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as soon as January.
Galatasaray want rid of Tanguy Ndombele
According to a report from Turkish media outlet Super Haber, Okan Buruk, manager of Galatasaray has conveyed his request to management to part ways with Tanguy Ndombele in January.
The publication states that the 26-year-old has ‘not been seen for 2.5 months’ and when he has, he ‘walks on the field and draws attention with his excess weight’.
No holding back there. It appears they’ve lost patience with Ndombele, which now poses an issue for Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs also don’t want Tanguy Ndombele…
It’s no secret that Daniel Levy has been trying to shift Ndombele for a couple of years now.
No one will seem to take a punt on him, with his spell in Turkey doing him absolutely no favours whatsoever.
This poses an issue, as Tottenham will now have to deal with all of his £200,000 p/w salary, alongside the fact the coaching staff will have to put in extra work on the training ground to try to reinstate some form of fitness for the midfielder.
Looking back, what a monumental was of £63m pounds it was for the midfield man.
