Tanguy Ndombele wants to remain at Tottenham – with the club not wanting to keep him this summer – despite widespread reports of a fallout between the French midfielder and Jose Mourinho, according to The Athletic.
Ndombele, who joined Spurs for a record-fee from Lyon last summer, has endured a tough opening 12 months in the Premier League and hasn’t been given a single minute in either of Tottenham’s two games since the restart of English football last week.
Mourinho revealed after the West Ham victory that the reason for his exclusion was nothing personal and that the 23-year-old simply wasn’t required. That came just days after Telefoot reported that Ndombele had told the Portuguese that he no longer wishes to play under him.
However, despite those claims, the pair were both pictured at training on Thursday – with The Athletic suggesting that Ndombele is focusing on fighting for his place in Mourinho’s side, although he is unlikely to start when Tottenham return to action against Sheffield United on Thursday.
This all came after Mourinho had initially praised the midfielder for his fitness amid the return of the Premier League after previously slamming Ndombele for his performance in Spurs’ last league game before lockdown at Burnley.
he has to start he is quality and will make the team more effective
JM grow up and accept you got it wrong
Why is a Spurs site regurgitating this made up rubbish?
Play him JM stop being a nob, he is a very high quality player we need him. When he came he made an impact straight away.
I am spurs fan and I hate JM with a passion, When he was at united he was a dick and that’s made me hate him ever since. we still haven’t done any better since has come anyway……..
Ndombele has to be patient his time will come, Jose is right when he slams a player publicly. Ndombele should use this opportunity to prove himself on the field COYS
