Spurs May Have Ndombele Replacement Lined Up If The Worst Should Happen | OneFootball

Last weekend I dismissed the suggestion that Tottenham could be tempted to move for sought-after Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Foot Mercarto in France reported that the Serbian’s mammoth valuation had dropped from £100m to £65m and brought into the frame; a quite ludicrous notion considering the anticipated state of the market.

But does that rumour become more plausible if Tanguy Ndombele is sold?

According to L’Equipe, relayed by the Daily Mail, Spurs would only consider an offer for Milinkovic-Savic if Ndombele leaves the club this summer.

It seems after weeks of speculation to start lockdown that the Frenchman won’t be going anywhere for another season, with Daniel Levy determined to give the 23-year-old midfielder time to return our investment on him.

But that could well change after the completion of the Premier League season. If after a prolonged break to get himself in shape, Ndombele is still no closer to looking fit or bothered, we may be forced into a decision.

I want Ndombele to be given time to prove himself, but it is good to know that a top-quality replacement is lined up in case the worse should happen.
