Report: Lyon won’t exercise the option to keep Tottenham’s £32M midfielder

While many are concentrated on which players Tottenham Hotspur will remain for next season, there’s also what will occur with those with no future in north London. 

Spurs sent out various players out on loan in January, hoping they could bump up their value to find any takers. Bryan Gil and Giovan Lo Celso have improved their stock so that they could find takers for a permanent deal. However, Tanguy Ndombele might be more of a challenge. 

Ndombele has struggled in his return stint at Olympique Lyonnais, and Football Insider reports that Tottenham doesn’t expect the French club to exercise the £50million-plus option in Ndombele’s loan deal. 

As a result, the 25-year-old will have to return to the Premier League club to have his future sorted, whether it’s another loan or taking a significant loss on their investment to reach a permanent deal. 

When it comes to a possible fee Spurs might have to accept this summer, Transfermarkt puts Ndombele’s value at £32-million
