Tanguy Ndombele joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
Ndombele joined Tottenham from Lyon in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £53.8 million.
The 22-year-old midfielder made a memorable debut for Spurs, as the France international scored for the North London outfit in their 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at home in the Premier League last weekend.
Spurs fans are understandably excited, but manager Pochettino has suggested that they will be able to see the best of the youngster only next season as he will need a year to adapt to his new surroundings.
Pochettino told Football.London about Ndombele: “To score in the first game, on his debut, was an amazing thing for him to build his confidence. We expect to provide him with more tools to improve and learn.
“We are not going to judge too much in his performance. He needs time, players that in the past maybe need one season to settle in the team and learn. He’s now playing in the team and scoring and for me the performance was very good.
“We are so happy but we cannot add pressure on him. He needs to be part of trying to help the team, not the player will arrive and be decisive and key to winning. It’s important to know. He’s still young and he’s going to start his third season like a professional and we need to be careful for him.”
Important player
Ndombele is a very good and promising young midfielder who can be an asset at Tottenham in the coming years.
The Frenchman is hugely talented, and the 22-year-old can only improve and develop under manager Pochettino.
Tottenham will take on Manchester City away from home in the Premier League this weekend.
