It looks like it might be another week where Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele dominates the headlines. As we ticked into a new week and continued our strange journey through Coronavirus times, 23-year-old Ndombele found himself linked with a possible move to Spanish giants Barcelona, but it seemed a stretch at best.
With talk of a potential player swap with an educated guess that the transfer market, whenever the season ends, will be financially deflated, the speculation really hinged on manager Jose Mourinho’s public criticism of him at the beginning of March.
There was little else of concrete note to even suggest the speculation wasn’t pure invention.
Would Cashing In On Ndombele Now...
Be Correct, He Won't Adjust
A Massive Mistake, He'll Improve Massively
With most fans believing we’ll see significant improvement from the French international once he settles properly in the Premier League, as well as knowing Mourinho has been working with him during the current lull – a transfer felt extremely unlikely and Ndombele appears to have made his own comment on the reports.
Taking to Instagram yesterday evening, the player posted:
“Rien a signaler” alongside a two minute clip of highlights from his time at the club so far.
I’m reliably informed this means ‘nothing to report’.
His comment quickly attracted the attention of a few of his colleagues as well.

Looks like we can put this speculation to bed as well.
He’s just given the clearest message. Now let’s get on with supporting our players. With Kane and Son back a fit Sissoko and Ndombele and Lo Celso up to speed it’s an exciting team.

Such a baller. Will be immense for us when he's injury free and firing.

Ndombele rumours squashed already by himself. I hope now he’s focused on next season, gets his fitness up and works hard because his talent can take him to the very very top.

Proper 6 behind Ndombele and Gio and we're flying.

There cannot be any doubt…. we MUST keep Ndombele. The talent is clearly there, and it’s the job of Jose and his team to unlock it. As long as he still wants to stay, he HAS to stay!

Jose risked the virus to train with Ndombele 1-on-1 and you thought they were gonna sell him???
