Report: Spurs player has received interest from two clubs – Set to reject both
Foot Mercato have revealed that despite attracting interest from both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, Tanguy Ndombele has no intention of moving to Turkey this summer.
Multiple sources from Turkey have reported over the last few weeks that Galatasaray are in talks with Spurs over a deal
for Ndombele (Sabah).
A few days ago, we relayed a report from Takvim which claimed that their cross-City rivals, Fenerbahce, had also entered the race for
the midfielder’s signature.
The report asserted that Tottenham had made it clear to both clubs that the player was in the shop window.
However, when Fenerbahce sent a loan offer for the former Lyon man with an option to make the deal permanent next summer, the
Lilywhites allegedly made it clear that they would only consider a full sale.

Foot Mercato have now asserted that both Istanbul clubs have submitted offers of €10m (£8.6m) for Ndombele, who Spurs are now
ready to offload.
However, it is explained that the Frenchman is not interested in playing in the Super Lig, which is why he might end up staying at
Tottenham for one more season.

It is understandable if Ndombele does not want to move to Turkey but Tottenham will want to find a solution for him before the
window closes. The North London side will be desperate to offload him permanently, even if it means selling the player for a cut-price fee

Sources: Two Tottenham midfielders to now go –
Hojbjerg replacement on his way
Tottenham are ready to push ahead with a big-name midfield signing after receiving a reported initial £86million fee for Harry
Kane, sources have told Football Insider.
Kane left Spurs for Bayern Munich on Saturday (12 August) and the Lilywhites are now ready to accelerate their summer business.
A big-money midfield capture is on the agenda for Ange Postecoglou and his team of recruitment chiefs.
It is believed that both Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele could make way in the final weeks of the summer window.
Exits for the duo would boost the transfer kitty and give Postecoglou the chance to move for the right man – and the expectation is
that deal would get done by the transfer cut-off.
Hojbjerg was an unused substitute for Tottenham as they drew 2-2 away at Brentford in Sunday’s (13 August) season-opener.
Meanwhile, Ndombele – alongside Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga, Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon – was omitted from the
matchday squad to face the Bees.
The 26-year-old, who cost Spurs a club-record £55million, spent last season out on loan at Serie A champions Napoli but made just 12
starts across all competitions.
Both Ndombele and Hojbjerg are under contract at Tottenham until June 2025.
Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp were given the nod in central midfield by Postecoglou against Brentford with Rodrigo Bentancur still
out through injury.
