The Argentinian star went into the season way down the pecking order but has tenaciously come to the fore
By Ben McAleer for WhoScored
In pre-season, Tanguy Ndombele was the Tottenham player tipped to be handed another chance by Ange Postecoglou. The Frenchman is blessed with ample talent but his application is found wanting. Mauricio Pochettino, José Mourinho and Antonio Conte have all failed to manage the midfielder. Nothing changed under Postecoglou, and Spurs’ club-record signing was shipped off to Galatasaray on loan.
Tottenham have an incredibly bloated squad that needs trimming. Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga and Sergio Reguilón all departed on loan last summer, though the latter has returned to the club. Hugo Lloris left for LAFC last weekhaving dropped down the goalkeeping pecking order while Eric Dier is unlikely to be on the books for much longer as the club pursues the services of Genoa’s Radu Dragusin. Giovani Lo Celso could have fallen into the same bracket but the Argentinian has gone from forgotten midfielder to key man in a few short weeks.
