Tottenham are looking to offload Tanguy Ndombele this month after his actions angered Antonio Conte, PSG are considering a raid on Chelsea, while Monday’s transfer gossip claims Newcastle are readying a move for a Burnley striker.
NDOMBELE EXIT LIKELY AT SPURS
Tanguy Ndombele looks like he has played his last game for Tottenham after his actions left Antonio Conte furious on Sunday.
The £54m man – Spurs’ record signing – has failed to find his consistent best since moving from Lyon in 2019. And now it seems both player and manager are pushing for a divorce after his actions in Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Morecambe.
As per The Athletic and via several newspapers, Ndombele is hopeful of leaving by this summer at least. However, talks are being accelarated for his departure while the January window is still open.
That’s amid claims that Conte, as well as other senior figures at Spurs, were ‘disappointed by Ndombele’s actions’ on Sunday.
As reported by The Athletic, the French midfielder opted to leave the pitch slowly when substituted during the win over Morecambe.
He was also booed by a section of Spurs fans – and now it seems the writing is on the wall.
Now the Daily Express claims Roma are readying an approach for the midfielder, which would see him reunite with Jose Mourinho.
However, Spurs are pushing for a swap deal with Juventus. The Serie A side are already reported to have rejected their attemps to trade Ndombele for Weston McKennie.
Bergwijn and Ndombele may depart
However, Fabio Paratici is not a man to give up easily and is reportedly working on talking his former side into a deal.
Spurs also hope to offload Steven Bergwijn this month.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Spurs want to move the £27m flop on before the January window shuts.
He was being linked with Ajax, though they may need to sell before they can buy.
