In their weekly Tottenham loan update, Football.London have revealed that Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele had contrasting fortunes over the last few days at Villareal and Lyon respectively.
Ndombele has done well since returning to Lyon on loan in January but the midfielder struggled in the club’s 1-0 loss at home to Lille on the weekend.
GFFN gave the Spurs man a rating of 4 out of 10 – the lowest of any player.
The 25-year-old told Lyon’s official website last week: “I’m not at 100% yet but I’m trying to give my best.”
However, Lo Celso is thriving in his new role, with the Argentine being partnered upfront with Arnaut Danjuma by Unai Emery.
The midfielder impressed in Villarreal’s 1-1 draw at home to Juventus in the Champions League last week and was also one of the stars of the show in the Yellow Submarine’s 5-1 win at Espanyol on Sunday.
Bryan Gil also continues to impress at Valencia, playing all 90 minutes once again as Los Che beat Mallorca 1-0 at the weekend.

Spurs Web Opinion
It is pleasing to see both Troy Parrott and Kion Etete do well in League One.
While both of them have different characteristics, they both might be competing with each other for a place in the Spurs first-team over the next year or two.
Perhaps, Tottenham would consider loaning both players to Championship clubs next season to fast-forward their development.
