Coach Ange Postecoglu eventually gave up on the comeback of Tanguy Ndombele (26).
Britain’s ‘The Boot Room’ said on the 9th (Korean time), ‘Ndombele disappeared from director Postecoglu’s plan. Tottenham are working to sell Ndombele.’ ‘Evening Standard’ has already reported that ‘Tottenham have decided to clear four players before the summer market closes: Hugo Lloris, Tanguy Ndombele, Joe Roden and Jed Spence’.
Ndombele is expected to remain the ‘worst eater’ in Tottenham’s history. Having nested in Tottenham in July 2019, expectations for him were so high that he broke the highest transfer fee in the history of the club. His transfer fee was 65 million pounds (approximately 108 billion won) including options.
However, he only scored 10 goals in 91 appearances for Tottenham over two and a half seasons. Ndombele is from France. He was loaned to Olympique Lyonnais, his home team, in the second half of the 2021-2022 season. In the 2022-2023 season, he left again for Napoli.
He was named in Napoli’s first Scudetto (Serie A title) in 33 years. However, he returned to Tottenham as Napoli did not exercise their full transfer option.
Postecoglu believed in Ndombele’s potential. In particular, there was a high possibility of Ndombele’s reversal as three central midfielders were needed in the 4-3-3 formation. Director Postecoglu had high expectations.
But the reality has not changed. While Giovanni Lo Celso was eye-popping, Ndombele defied his expectations. His name was erased after he was sidelined due to an injury at the beginning of the Asian tour.
Coach Postecoglu left a meaningful message immediately after Torfeo Juan Camper against Barcelona held at Estadi Olympique Luis Companys in Barcelona, Spain. “Playing players is a decision I have to make. Physically, Ndombele is a little bit behind the others. To play this kind of football, you have to reach a decent level physically,” he said. “But we have a big squad right now. I have it and there will be arrangements. These decisions have to be made by the club and the players themselves.”스포츠토토
European transfer expert Rudi Galetti added: “Actually, Ndombele wasn’t very good at Napoli last season. It doesn’t help that he plays an important role in Tottenham’s squad this season. But his future is not yet decided.” .
