Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon has waxed lyrical about Tanguy Ndombele, tipping his Spurs teammate to become an “elite player”.

The 24-year-old midfielder is in amazing form at present, his maiden-season issues at Tottenham now a distant memory, and was especially scintillating against Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs ran out 3-1 winners at Bramall Lane and the hosts had no answer to Ndombele’s passing, link-up play and engine, not to mention his spectacular third goal, an improvised lob over Aaron Ramsdale.

The result means Jose Mourinho’s charges finished the weekend fifth in the Premier League table, just four points off the summit in what is proving one of the most open title races in recent years.

“The club bought him for a reason,” Rodon is quoted by the Evening Standard as saying.

“He’s only going to get better and better the more games he plays. Hopefully he becomes what we all think he can be – an elite player.”
