Okan Buruk could be sacked at Galatasaray – partly due to a situation involving Tottenham loanee Tanguy Ndombele.

That is according to Fotospor in Turkey.

So, what is the latest on Tanguy Ndombele away from Tottenham? Let’s take a look…

Tanguy Ndombele situation could see Okan Buruk sacked

Well – according to Fotospor – the Turk is at risk of receiving his P45 after Galatasaray crashed out of the UEFA Europa League.

There are – however – other reasons for Buruk’s potential dismissal, with Ndombele named.

The Turkish news outlet believe the 50-year-old’s inability to get the best out of the Tottenham loanee has upset those in the boardroom at Galatasaray.

Galatasaray are believed to be paying Ndombele £2.6m in wages for his season on loan in Turkey, and Buruk’s bosses clearly believe he is wasting that investment by failing to oversee much success with the France international.

The 27-year-old has made 23 appearances across all competitions so far this season, with just one assist to show for his efforts.

Some pundits in Turkish football cannot believe Ndombele has even played that many games under Buruk.

Ange Postecoglou has a decision to make at Tottenham

Galatasaray hold a £13m option to buy Ndombele on a permanent basis this summer.

However – given the Frenchman’s struggles in Turkey – we doubt this clause will be triggered, so the £63m man is likely to return to Hotspur Way at the end of the season, where Ange Postecoglou has a decision to make.

The Australian has already resurrected the careers of a few at Tottenham – such as Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, who were regularly overlooked by Antonio Conte.

Therefore, Postecoglou could get something out of Ndombele – although only time will tell for certain.

Hopefully, the 58-year-old can work his magic once again and coax some form out of the France international, who was considered one of the most exciting midfielders in Europe not that long ago.
