Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to signing their first new player in nearly 18 months, and it could be a big one.
Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Ndombele is on the verge on signing for the North London club this summer, with only a few more details to be ironed out before a deal is done.
Lyon President, Jean-Michel Aulus, revealed last week that Ndombele would potentially be able to leave this summer if the club signed a replacement (Football London).
Well, today Lyon did just that, signing Jean Lucas as a potential Ndombele replacement for next season (Lyon Twitter).
Jean-Michel Aulus only added fuel to the rumours today by stating that Ndombele had also asked to leave the club this summer (Mirror).
After almost a year and a half of waiting, it is safe to say that Tottenham fans are extremely excited by the prospect of bringing the Lyon powerhouse in.
