The Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick has rubbished rumours suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur are in negotiations with Inter Milan over the sale of Tanguy Ndombele.
The midfielder, who the North Londoners shattered their transfer record to sign last summer, has endured a disappointing season and previous reports have indicated that he does not see eye to eye with Jose Mourinho (The Athletic).
The Guardian reported on Thursday and Spurs were willing to take a loss on the midfielder and sell him to Inter Milan for around €50m (£45m).
Although the Serie A giants were said to be keen on landing the Spurs man, it was revealed that they were not ready to meet Tottenham’s asking price.
It was suggested that Antonio Conte’s side will instead attempt a swap deal for Ndombele, with Milan Skriniar and Ivan Perisic both of interest to Spurs.
However, Kilpatrick has now insisted that Tottenham remain determined to help the former Lyon man turn his around his fortunes at the club.

Journalists close to Spurs (the likes of Kilpatrick and Alasdair Gold) are being told that Ndombele is not for sale but I would be extremely surprised if the midfielder was still at the club next season. The Frenchman does not seem to be in Mourinho’s plans and another six months or a season on the bench will only reduce his market value even further.
