Tottenham and Tanguy Ndombele part ways
- Tottenham Hotspur and Tanguy Ndombele have mutually agreed to terminate his contract.
- Ndombele, the club's record signing, failed to meet expectations during his time at the club.
- The midfielder departs after 91 appearances for Tottenham.
Tottenham's £65million club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele has left the club by mutual consent after playing only 91 times in five years. He joined on a six-year deal from Lyon but spent the last three seasons on loan, first with Lyon, then Napoli, and finally Galatasaray. Despite a bright start at Tottenham, Ndombele fell out of favor due to poor form and fitness issues under various managers. He had a brief revival in the 2020-21 season but struggled for opportunities after Mourinho's departure. Ndombele's loan spells saw him win league titles with Napoli and Galatasaray, but neither club opted to sign him permanently. Tottenham has decided to terminate his contract with a year left, cutting their losses with the French midfielder. Ndombele's departure adds to the list of players leaving Tottenham, including Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, and Japhet Tanganga.
