Report: On-loan Spurs man faces setback in his second appearance for club
After an impressive start to his loan spell back at Lyon, Tanguy Ndombele struggled for the Ligue 1 club in their 1-1 draw at Lens on Saturday.
Ndombele returned to his former club on loan on transfer deadline day last month, with Lyon having the option to make the deal permanent for £54m (Sky Sports).
The midfielder admitted that he lost ‘his taste for football’ during his two and a half years at Spurs and said he hopes to rediscover his form at his former stomping ground (Telefoot).
The 25-year-old certainly had a fine start to his spell back at the Groupama Stadium as he was the star of the show in Lyon’s 2-0 win over Nice last Sunday, producing a fine all-round display and grabbing an assist for Karl Toko Ekambi’s second-half goal.
However, Ndombele had an off day in his second outing for Lyon over the weekend as Peter Bosz’s side were held to a 1-1 draw against Lens.
The print edition of L’Equipe (as relayed by Sport Witness) have handed the on-loan Spurs man a rating of just 4/10 for his performance.
The report explained that the midfielder faced ‘more difficulty’ against Lens than against Nice and was put ‘under pressure’.
Spurs Web Opinion
Both Spurs and Lyon would be hoping that this was just a blip from Ndombele and that he is able to pick up his performances over the coming weeks, as he gets consistent starts under his belt. It is in Tottenham’s interest for the midfielder to do well and raise his transfer value ahead of the summer transfer window.
