Turkish journalist Nevzat Dindar has been discussing Tanguy Ndombele’s situation at Galatasaray, and while he believes the player is overweight, he thinks the Tottenham man can come good this season.
There is a good chance Tanguy Ndombele may be the worst signing in Tottenham Hotspur history. Costing a whopping £55m (Guardian) back in 2019, it’s fair to say the Frenchman has underwhelmed in North London.
After failing to impress Antonio Conte, Ndombele was loaned back to Lyon, before spending the 2022/23 campaign with Napoli. The Serie A champions elected against retaining the Spurs midfielder this year.
Ndombele was given another chance in North London but was unable to win over the new Lilywhites boss, Ange Postecoglou this summer.
Despite speculation linking Ndombele with a move away from Tottenham all summer, it was not until after the British transfer window closed that Spurs were able to offload the 26-year-old. With the Turkish window open longer, Galatasaray swooped to sign the playmaker on loan.

Ndombele can be a success in Turkey
Things are not exactly going to plan for Ndombele in Turkey, but Nevzat Dindar reckons that will change eventually.
He told Milliyet: “Ndombélé is overweight. I watched the training. Kerem Demirbay and Sergio Oliveira play in Galatasaray’s midfield. Expectations are high. I don’t think Galatasaray are taking a risk for Ndombélé. I say there is one month for Ndombélé.
“Ndombélé is no ordinary player. I watch Fred with admiration. I said it in the last broadcast, Fred, it would be completely different if he was at Galatasaray, but I think Ndombélé will also make a name for himself.”

Hopefully, Ndombele can get himself in shape and start performing well for Galatasaray soon. We cannot have him coming back to Tottenham, he simply has to seal a permanent move away this year.
