Football agent George Gardi has revealed that he forged a plan early in the summer for Galatasaray to sign both Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele from Tottenham Hotspur.
Sanchez made the move to the Turkish giants on a permanent basis in early September in deal worth £12.8m, while Ndombele also put pen to paper on a season-long loan deal which includes the option to join permanently.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou vowed shortly after joining Tottenham as the club’s new head coach that all players would be given a new opportunity to try to impress him (Mirror), however, Ndombele’s poor timekeeping issues and an injury in pre-season saw him made surplus to requirements once again (Guardian).
Sanchez was in the final year of his contract in North London after failing to justify the at-the-time club-record £40m fee that Spurs paid Ajax in 2017 and instead decided to make a fresh careeer start in Turkey (Sky Sports).

Agent reveals plans of double Spurs transfer exit
Gardi revealed that he had proposed the double signing of the Tottenham pair to Galatasaray even before the summer transfer window had opened.
He told TuttoMercatoWeb: “These players who have arrived are the fruit of work that started a long time ago.
“Sanchez and Ndombele were my proposals even before the start of the market. You have to consider that all clubs in Europe and around the world look to English clubs when looking for quality, bringing three players from elite Premier teams to Turkey is like climbing a mountain. I am proud that Galatasaray accepted my proposals.
“Ndombele, we are talking about a champion of Italy, on loan at zero with a partially covered wage; and Sanchez arrived permanently. Under these conditions, the competition from other clubs was fierce, hence my pride.”
SpursWeb Opinion
Sanchez’s time at Tottenham had run its course and it still has to be a priority that the club look to bring in another central defender in the winter transfer window to add some cover, should Cristian Romero pick up an injury.
Ndombele continues to be a burden on the Tottenham wage bill and the club will be counting down the days until his deal expires in 2025.
