TAN TIME UP?
Tanguy Ndombele is ‘weighing up his options’ as he considers his Tottenham future, according to reports.
The midfielder, 24, did not feature for a single minute across the five pre-season matches. And according to The Athletic, the £55million record signing could leave Spurs before deadline day at the end of August if he remains sidelined.
Ndombele had paternity leave during pre-season but trained and was available for the friendlies with Chelsea and Arsenal – but was simply not picked for the matchday squad by new boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
It looks very unlikely he will be involved against champions Manchester City in their Premier League opener this Sunday as he still needs to win over Santo.
The former Lyon man is a reserved individual who does not like confrontation, so has not approached Nuno with regards to the ongoing omission.
The problem for Ndombele and Tottenham, though, is that Spurs splashed out a massive record fee for him just two years ago. And they tied him down to a six-year contract until 2025 worth £200,000 per week.
