Spurs linked star tipped to move abroad.
Former France international Viktor Dhorasoo has warned that Lyon will be unlikely to keep hold of Tanguy Ndombele.
Ndombele signed permanently with Lyon in the summer after a successful loan spell from Amiens last season.
He has made a big impact for the French side this season, impressing against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Tottenham tried to buy him in the summer from Lyon, L’Equipe reported, with the French side rejecting their offer.
Dhorasoo has warned Ndombele will be sold soon, and expects him to leave France.
He was quoted by Foot Sur 7: “Ndombele is a great player. He is too strong for Ligue 1, he is too strong for Lyon and he will have to leave.
“I have no doubt about his progress, he will prevail in any club.
“I do not think Aulas will let him go to PSG, he will prefer to strengthen a team abroad than Paris Saint-Germain.”
Ndombele would be the perfect replacement at Tottenham for midfielder Mousa Dembele, who is expected to exit the club this summer.
The problem is that Ndombele’s value is improving with every passing month, and Tottenham risk getting priced out for the market for him.
According to the Daily Star, Lyon are looking for £70 million, a fee beyond Tottenham’s financial capabilities.
