Tottenham in talks over Ndombele

Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Olympique Lyon over a potential transfer for Tanguy Ndombele next season. 

It is thought that Ndombele is exactly the player that Mauricio Pochettino requires, as he looks to balance out his midfield and finally win a trophy with Tottenham.

Ndombele is also wanted by Manchester City, Juventus and Real Madrid, which will only increase his value and likely the amount that Tottenham will have to pay for the Frenchman if they wanted to sign him.

Spurs valuation of the player is at around the 50 million euro mark, which is significantly short of the 75 million that Lyon want for their star midfielder. As Aulas has already said "“I am negotiating with the biggest European clubs for Ndombélé." Which will only add to the amount that Spurs would have to pay for him. 

Having lost Moussa Dembélé to China, Pochettino is keen on improving the centre of midfield, and has held talks with both Donny Van de Beek and Nicolò Zaniolo, whilst Ryan Sessegnon is another player Pochettino wants to bring in this summer.
