Spurs rivals Man City for Lyon midfielder
The North London side is being linked to Tanguy N’Dombele, who has been a strong performer at Lyon this season, notching seven assists in all competitions.
The OL midfielder was the subject of a €10 million buyback clause, which Lyon triggered over the past few days after he spent a season on loan there from Amiens.
Tottenham are always on the lookout for clever bargains, and the 21-year-old would follow in the footsteps of Serge Aurier, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Lyon are not interested in selling him, however, as owner Jean-Michel Aulas is known for trying to let go of players only when he make a fat profit from them- something he has consistently done for years.
Goal journalist Sam Lee linked N’Dombele to Manchester City back in March, saying that “Ndombele is being looked at to some extent – I don’t know how much."
“City will be looking around, but there’s a name I heard – (Tanguy) Ndombele, the lad at Lyon on loan from Amiens.
“I asked some people if he’d be ready to play (for City), but I don’t know if he’d be ready to do that yet.
