According to Football London, newly appointed Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is now willing to sanction the 26-year-old midfielder’s departure due to his attitude concerns.
The 26-year-old spent the previous season on loan at Napoli, when he was a member of their championship-winning group. Many expected him to have an opportunity under the new manager this season, but he failed to impress the new boss during pre-season.
The Australian is now prepared to sanction the £55 million midfielder’s departure before the transfer window shuts.
When Ndombele joined Tottenham, he was considered as a world-class talent who was projected to develop into a top-tier player. However, things have not gone as planned, as he has battled to establish himself as a regular starter for Tottenham under a number of different managers.
Perhaps a permanent departure from the north London club would be beneficial to all parties.
Tottenham clearly do not regard him as a crucial player anymore, and the 26-year-old will be keen to relaunch his career. A permanent exit would be ideal for all sides, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can find a club prepared to pay a high price for him.
At this point in his career, the Frenchman requires regular playing time, which he is unlikely to acquire at Tottenham. The 26-year-old cannot afford to stay on the bench for the entire season at the London club.
Tottenham are unlikely to repay the £55 million they invested for him, and they will have to cut their losses on the player. Napoli made a €20 million bid for the player recently.
Ndombele is a good talent who, if he can overcome his attitude difficulties, could be a vital player for most clubs. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming days of the transfer season.
