Tottenham Hotspur are close to completing a deal for France ace Tanguy Ndombele.

L’Equipe report the two clubs have agreed a deal, with only personal terms still to be worked out.

The timing of this is perfect for Tottenham.

In recent years, Tottenham’s summer transfer activity has been notorious for being left until late. Last year it didn’t happen at all.

When Spurs spent their current record fee on Davinson Sanchez, it was August and he had missed pre-season.

Tottenham could potentially sign Ndombele before the club’s pre-season training begins.

This would not only be a major statement of intent, it would show clear organisation too.

It will help Mauricio Pochettino and his players, and make the transition better for Ndombele too.

Immediately the pressure will be off the board, and more signings could be attracted by their recruitment of Ndombele.

It all sounds so simple, but Spurs have made hard work of it over the years. This time could be different.
