Tanguy Ndombele backed to go down as one of Tottenham Hotspurs’ worst-ever signings
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele finds himself in a precarious situation, with some labelling him as one of the club’s worst signings. Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridges via Give Me Sports has been particularly vocal about this sentiment regarding the Frenchman.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Ndombele’s future at Tottenham appears uncertain. The Turkish club has an option to buy him for £12.8 million, but recent reports suggest he may not have a place in Spurs’ plans moving forward. Moreover, Ndombele’s relationship with coach Okan Buruk has soured after reports emerged that he arrived at training six kilograms overweight.
Ndombele’s lack of contribution to Tottenham’s recent resurgence under Ange Postecoglou adds to the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club. With Spurs performing well in the Premier League and aiming for a top-four finish, Ndombele’s absence from the squad has been conspicuous.
Ndombele’s disappointing career at Tottenham:
Tottenham made a significant investment in Tanguy Ndombele during the 2019 summer transfer window, securing him in a club-record £63 million deal. With the club aiming to strengthen under Jose Mourinho’s management, Ndombele was expected to add value to the team and elevate their performance on the pitch.
However, Ndombele’s tenure at Spurs has been marred by disappointment and underperformance. Despite an initial promising display against Aston Villa, which earned him praise and the nickname of a “gold medalist,” he struggled to consistently demonstrate his abilities on the field. This pattern persisted throughout his time at the club, exacerbated by multiple changes in coaching staff seeking to unlock his potential.
Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has been particularly critical of Ndombele’s contributions, highlighting the stark disparity between the high expectations placed on him and his actual output for the team.
“Because of the fee, Ndombele will probably go down as one of the worst signings in Tottenham’s history. I know that’s brutal, but it’s the truth. He’s been a major disappointment. It’s just not going to happen for him at Tottenham.“

His inability to live up to the hefty price tag attached to him, combined with his underwhelming performances, has led many to consider him one of Tottenham’s worst signings in recent memory. As the club continues to evolve under new management, it seems increasingly unlikely that Ndombele will have a future at Tottenham, given his inability to meet the expectations placed upon him.
