Tottenham’s season really hasn’t turned out how many anticipated last summer, and one player who has epitomised what has unfolded is Tanguy Ndombele.
A lot was expected of the Frenchman upon his arrival with several supporters sending praise his way, but he has ultimately failed to live up to the hype.
The change in manager hasn’t helped him, as Jose Mourinho is clearly not his biggest fan, but there is also an argument to suggest that the midfielder hasn’t pulled his weight, and the reactions below show that some fans support that viewpoint.
Would you be disappointed if Ndombele left this summer?
Yes
No
Ndombele has struggled to adjust to the Premier League with just 0.6 key passes and 1.2 tackles per game, per WhoScored, compared to 1.4 and 1.9 respectively for Lyon in Ligue 1 last term.
It is easy to see why Mourinho wants more from the 23-year-old, therefore, but he and Spurs fans may not get to see it with PSG reportedly interested.
A move back to France could occur this summer and it may be best for all parties involved, particularly if we are able to attract a fee close to the £53.8m we spent on him.

mourinho please keep this wonderful player…. selling him would be a great mistake, remember your critics are just hoping you fail, and selling him would make an impact on their hopes!

A great talent but if he can’t dedicate himself to the team, I’d be happy for PSG to take him – this fact is, they are the perfect club for wasted talents.

The man is the most enterprising midfielder in football today such a pleasure to behold when in full flight a pity a wash up coach like Jose can’t appreciate what he has. He is of more value to Tottenham than Jose #fact

PSG is a real threat to be able to keep him, he doesn’t have to put in the work needed to cope with Premier League and he will easily earn more money, a no brainer for him sadly

Good business if we don’t lose money, he’s been poor so far…. no excuse for lack of effort
