Garth Crooks has written on BBC Sport that the relationship between Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and head coach Jose Mourinho is looking good.
The former Tottenham forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, has been impressed by Ndombele’s performances so far this season.
The France international midfielder is playing well at the moment and has established himself as an important player in the Tottenham first team.
Crooks wrote about Ndombele on BBC Sport : “It’s clear that the relationship between Tanguy Ndombele and Jose Mourinho has improved immeasurably from the days when the Tottenham manager wouldn’t give the player the time of day.
“Over a period of months we’ve seen the France international start to dominate matches and seen Mourinho less inclined to substitute the player late in games. Ndombele has, in return, grown in confidence and looked very impressive away at Sheffield United.
“His goal was quite brilliant and while Spurs have lacked craft and ingenuity in midfield, especially at home, here is a player who might suddenly provide the answer.”
Important player for Tottenham Hotspur
Ndombele did not have a good season on a personal level for Spurs in 2019-20, but the Frenchman is flourishing this time around.
According to WhoScored, the 24-year-old has made 14 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs so far this season, scoring three goals and providing on assist in the process.
Spurs head coach Mourinho has raved about the Frenchman on more than one occasion this season, and it seems that the Portuguese is getting on well with the midfielder.
For Tottenham to win the Premier League title this season, Ndombele will have to be on top of his game throughout.
