Alasdair Gold explains Spurs and Postecoglou’s plan for Tanguy Ndombele

Alasdair Gold has revealed in his latest column on Football.London that Ange Postecoglou is expected to take a ‘good look’ at Tanguy Ndombele during pre-season before making a decision on his future.

The journalist states that Napoli have shown interest in signing Ndombele again following the conclusion of his loan spell at the club while Fenerbahce are also prepared to offer the midfielder a route out of Tottenham.

The journalist explains that Spurs would struggle to get anywhere near the fee they paid for the Frenchman back in 2019 and their current plan is not to definitely sell him.

Instead, Postecoglou will assess the 26-year-old and his fit for his system before making a final decision on his future.

Tanguy Ndombele will be given a chance at Spurs

Gold adds that while there has always been some hope within Tottenham that Ndombele will eventually come good, he points out that the former Lyon man would have to buy into the relentless, high-intensity style of play favoured by Postecoglou to rescue his career in North London.

The journalist adds that, unlike Ndombele, neither Giovani Lo Celso nor Harry Winks are expected to have a future at Spurs, with the former said to be attracting interest from Villarreal and Aston Villa.

While Postecoglou will like Ndombele’s courage on the ball and his press-resistant nature, I suspect the Frenchman would struggle to fulfil the sort of intensity that the Australian will demand out of possession, which is why I expect the 26-year-old to follow Lo Celso and Winks out of the door this summer.
