Tottenham Hotspur said goodbye to several players during the January transfer window, one of them being Tanguy Ndombele. The midfielder failed to impress since arriving in 2019, and after two and a half, Spurs decided to part ways sending the 25-year-old. 

Spurs sent Ndombele on a loan deal back to Olympique Lyonnais. The agreement expires in June, and the French club will need to exercise the £54-million option to make his stay permanent.

However, Jeunes Footeux reports that Lyon is working to extend Ndombele on loan for the 2022-23 campaign. The Ligue 1 side cannot afford the permanent clause in the midfielder’s loan deal.

Ndombele has no future at Tottenham, but it’s hard to imagine any club forking over £54-million for Ndombele this summer. If the north London club wants to sell off the midfielder, they’ll need to lower the price and bite that they’ll lose money on this transaction for the amount they initially invested.
