New footage of £65m Tottenham flop goes viral as he appears out of shape
It’s been hard for Ndombele to stay fit while on loan at Galatasaray this season. A video of the player gaining weight has gone popular on social media.
That’s great that Ivan Toney wants to win titles; you can’t blame him! There’s been footage of an out-of-shape It’s All Kicking Off Tanguy Ndombele is having a hard time playing for Galatasaray after a huge change.
The Frenchman moved from Lyon to Tottenham for £65 million in 2019, which is still the club’s record transfer fee.
But he didn’t live up to the hype, so he spent last season on loan at Napoli and then went on loan to Galatasaray last summer.
Many stories say Ndombele has had a hard time staying fit, as he has only played 385 minutes of league football for the Turkish team so far this season.
There was video of Ndombele playing in a cup game against Umraniye that seemed to prove that.
The 27-year-old defender had a hard time getting across the floor and looked like he had gained weight.
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Spurs, knew he wasn’t fit enough before the season started. The Australian told football.london that Ndombele was “a little bit physically behind the rest as well you know” during the Tottenham game.
Postecoglou said, “There’s one thing I need to be good at when it comes to the way we play, and that’s that you have to be physically fit to play this kind of football.”
Throughout his career, Ndombele has been plagued by worries about his weight and has had a hard time staying fit.
Mail Sport’s new podcast, It’s All Kicking Off, offers a different take on Premier League football. The show starts today with a preview show and will have one every week this season.
Jose Mourinho, who used to manage Spurs, openly criticised Ndombele after taking him off at halftime in a draw at Burnley. Emmanuel Petit, who used to play middle for Arsenal, also criticised the player and said he was overweight in 2020.
After loan stints with Napoli and Lyon that didn’t work out after he joined Spurs, Galatasaray is his fourth club in four years.
