After all, he\u2019s hardly a household name such as\nGareth Bale or Antoine Greizmann <em>(two players Spurs have been linked to at\nvarious times<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately,\nwe thought we would take a look at the youngsters fledging career to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where is he from?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>France is the answer but in particular, a place called Longjumeau in the southern suburbs of Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, at the age of 14 he moved to Brittany to play for Guingcamp. Three seasons at the Northern French club and no contract was forth coming so he joined French third division side Amiens where he started to make a name for himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making\nhis mark<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ndombele\nhad a slow start to life in the French third division but in soon started to\nfire during the 2016\/17 season in which he made 30 appearances scoring twice as\nAmien\u2019s earned promotion back to France\u2019s top flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ndombele\u2019s\nenergetic performances in the center of midfield for the Unicorns won him many\nadmirers and Lyon soon came calling initially on a one-year loan deal in which\nafter impressing in his first season, the Kids took the option to sign him\npermanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>London\ncalling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tanguy\nNdombele\u2019s stock continued to rise last season after making 48 appearances in\nall competitions as Lyon finished third in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the\naccolades did not finish there as the 22-year-old made his debut for France in\nOctober as a substitute replacing Paul Pogba in a 2-2 draw with Iceland and\nmade the Ligue 1 and Champions League team of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ndombele is\nnot a prolific scorer having found the net just six times in his 132 club\nprofessional games to date but he does bring a toughness and energy that will\nbe well suited to the Premier League. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spur\u2019s may\nhave just found themselves the bargain of the century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Finally, Tottenham is back in the transfer mix after going crazy with TWO signings on a single day.
