It remains to be seen where Tanguy Ndombele will be playing his football from September onwards as he waits to seal a Tottenham exit. Not part of Antonio Conte's plans and allowed to head out on loan to former club Lyon in January, the writing is very much on the wall for the Frenchman in north London three years after his big-money move to the club.
One of four players omitted from Spurs' pre-season tour of South Korea, the midfielder, along with Giovani Lo Celso, Harry Winks and Sergio Reguilon, was also left out of the friendlies against Rangers and Roma. Admitting that he cannot guarantee the aforementioned quartet will play for him if they don't leave Spurs this month, Conte outlined the importance of "finding the right solution" for both player and club before the transfer deadline when speaking to the media ahead of the Southampton game.
Having all the attributes and qualities to be a huge success in the game, Spurs, in theory, should have clubs queuing up to sign Ndombele due to his undoubted talent but unfortunately that is not the case because of his struggles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Underwhelming during his short time back at Lyon, there are now three weeks until the transfer window closes for business and there are plenty of question marks over what comes next for the 25-year-old as he looks to get his career back on track.
