Tottenham are close to landing Tanguy Ndombele.
Tottenham Hotspur are nearing a move for Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, with Sky Sports reporting a fee has been agreed.
Paris Saint-Germain had been tipped as competition for Ndombele.
Now French newspaper L’Equipe has explained why they have dropped their interest.
This is due to PSG appointed a new sporting director, former Brazil international Leonardo.
The report explains PSG are targeting the Italian transfer market, and Ndombele was no longer a priority.
This has left Tottenham with a freer run at Ndombele.
A report in Foot01 suggest Juventus and Real Madrid are both monitoring the situation, but no more than that at present.
It does not appear Tottenham’s accepted bid has spurred them into action, and Ndombele will be heading to North London unopposed.
