Tottenham outcast Tanguy Ndombele is linked to Al Ettifaq
Tanguy Ndombele will be the latest Tottenham Hotspur player to be off-loaded, per Caught Offside, this time to Al-Ettifaq. The French midfielder was signed for the club-record fee of €62.00 million in 2019.
It wasn’t long until Ndombele fell down the pecking order. After a few scattered appearances during the 2021/22 season, the France player went on a series of loan stints. First Lyon, then Napoli and eventually Galatasaray, Ndombele’s destinations kept changing.
The player is in dire need of a permanent home and that’s when the Al Ettifaq rumours started surrounding. Saudi Pro League is attracting players from all around to boost their PR. Tanguy Ndombele will be a nice addition to Steven Gerrard’s side who suffers from Jordan Henderson’s exit.
French outfit Rennes is also supposedly pursuing the 27-year-old. Rennes seems to be a more realistic destination for the Tottenham man as it will be a trip back home for him.
No chance for a comeback for Ndombele
Tottenham Hotspur under Ange Postecoglou is like never before. The North Londoners have undergone too many managerial changes in the past few years. The instability has done them only harm.

With a considerable number of individual players at his dispersal, it is quite evident that Tanguy Ndombele isn’t someone the manager is
