Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a late bid for Tanguy Ndombele.
According to L’Equipe, Tottenham Hotspur are considering launching a fresh move for Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Spurs are remarkably the only Premier League club yet to make a new signing this summer, with fans frustrated at the lack of business being done.
Daniel Levy has been accused of failing to back his manager in the transfer market, and Tottenham now have just 48 hours left to try and bring in new signings before the window slams shut.
A new midfielder could be a top priority, especially with questions over Mousa Dembele’s future, and L’Equipe report that Spurs are now considering a new last-gasp move for Lyon star Tanguy Ndombele.
The Frenchman, 21, has been linked with Spurs throughout the summer, and it’s claimed that Tottenham want to rekindle a move before Thursday, but Lyon remain reluctant to lose their star midfielder.
Ndombele was on the books with Guingamp before heading to Amiens, and his impressive displays saw him earn a loan move to Lyon last season, in which he starred so much that his move has become permanent.
Ndombele hit six assists in 34 Ligue appearances last term, and proved that he is the ideal box-to-box midfield player, which is what Spurs would need if Dembele moves on.
Yet with Lyon unwilling to do a deal, it seems unlikely that Tottenham will convince them to sell Ndombele in the next 48 hours – but Spurs have to try something in a desperate attempt to finally make a signing.
