‘Medical tests right now’: Fabrizio Romano has some transfer news for Tottenham fans

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is edging ever closer to a move away from Spurs this summer.

Ndombele is surplus to requirements at Tottenham, and spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon.

The Spurs midfielder returned to N17 this summer and had been training away from the rest of the first-team squad.

Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks had also been training individually.

Lo Celso has since moved on, agreeing a loan return to Villarreal, and now Ndombele is also on the verge of leaving.

Fabrizio Romano has taken to Twitter with an update on the 25-year-old Spurs man.

The transfer insider says Ndombele is undergoing medical tests right now at Napoli ahead of completing a move.

He will join the Serie A side on loan for the season, with Tottenham set to receive €1m (£844,000).

And if Napoli opt to take up their option to buy, Spurs will receive £30m (£25.4m).

Ndombele joined Tottenham to much fanfare back in 2019 for a reported club-record £63million.

However, he has often flattered to deceive for Spurs, impressing on the ball but struggling off it.

Tottenham have now seemingly decided to cut their losses and potentially lose Ndombele for less than half what they paid for him.

It’s a shame how things have panned out, but at least Spurs will get some of his £200,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.

For Ndombele, it’s a chance to rediscover his confidence and form, and he gets to do so in a Champions League team.
