Despite Tottenham Hotspur putting in a solid display to overcome West Ham United 2-0 in Tuesday’s London derby, most of the talk after the game has been about the lack of minutes for Tanguy Ndombele.
The French international is yet to feature in either game after the restart despite the rules allowing Jose Mourinho to make five substitutions per match.
Just after the final whistle against West Ham, Telefoot journalist Julien Maynard claimed that Ndombele had held a meeting with Mourinho in which the midfielder had told the Spurs boss that he does not wish to play for him anymore.
Maynard claimed that the Mourinho’s relationship with the former Lyon star had completely collapsed despite some members of the Tottenham dressing room trying to mediate between the pair.
Some Spurs fans were quick to take sides and insisted that Ndombele will be a much better asset for the Lilywhites than Mourinho.
However, others questioned whether there was any truth to the reports and suggested that we should be careful in taking sides without knowing the full story.

For a guy who has displayed a poor attitude and a lack of professionalism since we shattered our transfer record to sign him last summer, I am shocked by how many Spurs fans seem to love Ndombele. Let’s not forget that he is also our highest earner alongside Kane. There is no doubt about the 23-year-old’s talent but he has not shown a great desire to succeed at Spurs. Fans seem to forget that Ndombele’s work rate under Poch was also questionable and that the former Spurs boss said on multiple occasions that the Frenchman wasn’t playing at the level that he can.
