Football.London have revealed that Tanguy Ndombele has been criticised by Galatasaray fans for his lack of effort in the Champions League encounter against Bayern Munich last week.
Accusations of poor fitness and a lack of desire is something that has followed Ndombele everywhere he has been and it will certainly not come as a surprise to Spurs fans that his attitude is also being questioned in Turkey.
Since the Frenchman signed for Galatasaray on loan in the summer (with the option to make it permanent for £13m), he has made only one start for the club.
Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk even admitted a few weeks ago that the 26-year-old is ‘not in the best shape’ and is still working his way up to full fitness (Yenicag Gazetesi via Sport Witness).
Ndombele criticised for work ethic once again
Ndombele has had to be content with a few late cameos off the bench so far this season and it turns out that he has far from impressed in the minutes that have come his way.
Football.London reveal that in Galatasaray’s 3-1 defeat at home to Bayern Munich last week, the on-loan Spurs star came on for the final 10 minutes, but his effort left a lot to be desired.
He allegedly drew plenty of criticism from fans for one moment in particular, where he lost the ball and failed to track back when the German side flooded forward.
Spurs Web Opinion
At this point, it is fairly obvious that Ndombele is not really determined to have a good career at the highest level and make the most of his talent.
I do not think it is fair to judge him too harshly on that any longer as each person has their own motivations in life. It is time for Spurs to accept that they made a mistake by investing such a big fee on him and let the player leave permanently.
