Tottenham manager Antonio Conte could finally be the man to see the best of Tanguy Ndombele, with reports this evening claiming the Frenchman has been impressing coaching and sports science staff.

Ndombele has struggled to ever produce his best on a consistent basis for Spurs. He was a big money signing under Mauricio Pochettino, when Tottenham paid in excess of £54m for him.

He has, at times, shown glimpses of his quality. However, fitness and attitude issues have plagued his time in North London.

But according to Football.London, Antonio Conte could be the man to finally see the best of Ndombele. They report this evening that the sports science staff at Spurs are blown away by Ndombele’s physical condition. So much so, that they believe he is in the best condition he’s ever been in at the club.

Naturally, that could be a huge bonus for Antonio Conte and his staff. The Italian was a fan of Ndombele while at Inter Milan. Seeing the Frenchman produce the goods for Tottenham, though, would be ideal for Conte.

TBR’s View: Ndombele can be key for Tottenham and Conte

It sometimes feels like we have the same chat about Tanguy Ndombele over and over. But we’ll say it again. There is no doubting his immense talent.

Managers have tried and, in the main, failed to get the best out of him though. That is Conte’s challenge, and one we’re sure he will relish.

A fit and firing Ndombele is a benefit to everyone at Spurs. Some of the moments he’s produced have been outstanding. For example, his stunner at Sheffield United last season.

News of his excellent condition will please Conte. It’s a big season for Ndombele that could make or break his career. Spurs fans, then, will be hoping he has finally turned the corner.
