Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is not expected to have a future with the club when he returns from his loan.

The Frenchman is currently spending the season away in Turkey with Galatasaray after failing to impress Ange Postecoglou.

Tanguy Ndombele’s Tottenham future

According to transfer guru Dean Jones for GiveMeSport, Ndombele is expected to be moved on in the summer upon his return.

Ndombele will return to Hotspur Way with just one year remaining on his deal with the Lilywhites.

He was hailed even by Jose Mourinho who said he is a player with ‘phenomenal‘ potential.

But his opportunity to win over Postecoglou has been and gone following a failed first impression in pre-season.

Speaking about the 27-year-old’s future, Jones said: “I don’t see a way back for Ndombele in this Tottenham setup. He is going to go down as a transfer flop. I think that he had an opportunity when Postecoglou first came into the club, and he didn’t impress. The writing has been on the wall for him for a long time now. This could have gone very differently because when they signed them, they were signing a really good player. But whatever it is, and it does feel like a lot of it is attitude and application, is not good enough.”

Tottenham’s midfielder hunt

Ahead of the summer, Tottenham are being linked with a potential move for a midfield upgrade.

The future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is under speculation as the midfielder has recently changed his agency to an Italian company.

But the Lilywhites are already being linked with a potential move for a new midfielder with the likes of Conor Gallagher said to be of interest.

Another player who has also been linked with Everton’s James Garner.

Postecoglou already has a strong list of options in the middle of the park, but any move for a new midfielder must see Spurs learn from their mistake made with Ndombele.

The Frenchman’s time at Spurs has undoubtedly been a huge flop and a move which has cost Spurs dearly in both transfer fees and wages.
