Jose Mourinho is no stranger to falling out with his players. The “special one” has fallen out with the likes of Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba in the past (GetFranceFootball), and it seems that history is repeating itself at Tottenham.
The Portuguese manager hasn’t had the best of relationships with Tanguy Ndombele, and it seems that their relationship is at a breaking point now.
TF1 via GetfootballnewsFrance is claiming that the Frenchman has lost patience with his manager and he is now desperate to leave Tottenham after not featuring last night against Everton, which is also being reported by The Sun.
The midfielder only joined Spurs in the summer from Lyon, but he has struggled to replicate the form that saw him attract the attention of some of Europe’s best sides.
The report from GetFranceFootball further claims that the player and manager had a meeting this week, and the midfielder made his feelings clear to the manager.
It adds that there is no longer communication between the pair and that players at the club are mediating between the pair, trying to find a solution to the problem.
The midfielder won’t lack takers if he finally leaves Tottenham with Barcelona and PSG, all looking to land him should he become available for transfers, so claims the same report.
I have to be honest and say I am not at all sure about this latest gossip simply because a lot of it seems to be a rehash of earlier reports of a bust-up and that the part about being benched against Everton has just been added to regurgitated news.
If Ndombele starts against Bournemouth, which I think he will, then all this “speculation” over his future should be put to bed.
