Real Madrid have reportedly approached Tottenham Hotspur to enquire about the availability of Tanguy Ndombele.

According to Football Insider, Real have made their interest in the skilful midfielder known recently and are waiting to see if Spurs will be prepared to sell.

Ndombele joined from Lyon for a club-record £55million fee in July 2019, but endured a tough first season in England.

Ndombele’s performances improved considerably this season, with more grit to go alongside his technical brilliance, but his future remains uncertain.

Likewise, several of Tottenham’s best players could be on the move this summer, particularly if the club miss out on qualifying for European football at the end of a disappointing campaign.

Most notably, star man and leading goalscorer Harry Kane has repeatedly been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City as Spurs’ wait for silverware goes on.

Mourinho’s confrontational management style quickly grated on the squad, while his emphasis on discipline and defensive organisation brought diminishing returns. 

It was soon announced that Mourinho would take over at Roma, returning to Serie A – where he won the treble with Inter Milan – for the first time in 11 years.

Their cause could be helped by the French international’s recent demotion to the Tottenham bench under Ryan Mason.
