AliousTanguy Ndombele’s football career has been a roller-coaster ride.
After making a mark at Amiens, the midfielder lived up to the high expectations at Lyon.
Spotted by Tottenham, the Longjumeau native took a significant leap in 2019, joining the Premier League club for a hefty €60 million fee, highly coveted by then-manager Mauricio Pochettino.
In London, Ndombele had the support of fellow French speakers like Moussa Sissoko, Hugo Lloris, and Serge Aurier, easing his integration into the dressing room.
On the pitch, the 1996-born footballer showcased his qualities and talent, but his stint with Spurs had its fair share of ups and downs.
Indeed, while he made around 90 appearances across competitions for Spurs, scoring 10 goals, Ndombele was loaned out to Lyon, Napoli, and Galatasaray this season to regain his best form and regular playing time.
In Turkey, the 27-year-old featured in 24 games across competitions, contributing one assist.
After this loan spell, Ndombele was expected to return to London and sort out his situation. However, his fate at Tottenham seems sealed.
According to reports, both parties have agreed to an amicable contract termination, which should be finalized soon, making Ndombele a free agent.
Ndombele’s journey so far has been a mix of talent and challenges.
His ability to perform under different managers and adapt to various leagues is commendable, but consistent form and confidence have eluded him.
As he prepares for his next move, the football world will keenly observe where his path leads.
Despite a turbulent time at Tottenham, Ndombele’s potential remains undeniable.
With his skills and experience, he is sure to attract interest from clubs seeking a dynamic midfield presence.
