Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has opted against the sale of midfielder Tanguy Ndombele during the next transfer window, a report from Football Insider claims. The France international joined the club from Lyon for an initial £54m fee last summer and his arrival was met with much fanfare, given his impressive displays for his former side. He made a lively beginning to his Spurs career with two goals and one assist from his opening five league appearances but he has since struggled with form, fitness and injury concerns. Overall, he has featured in 19 of the club’s 29 top-flight games this term but only 12 of those have come from the starting lineup. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has been pretty vocal with his criticism over the midfielder’s fitness this year and it was recently sug...

According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele dreams of moving to Paris Saint-Germain at some stage in his career, but that isn’t expected to happen this summer despite reports linking him with an exit. Spurs have no intention of selling the France international after just a season at North London as there is a desire for the player to make good on their substantial investment. Tottenham signed Ndombele from Lyon last summer for a club-record £65 million on a £200,000 weekly wages, but he has struggled to impress due to a lack of form and fitness, playing a full game just thrice. Boss Jose Mourinho has publicly criticized the Frenchman, but he is hoping he turns out good when action resumes and has attempted to repair the relationship between them during the lockd...

The 31-year-old has less than two months remaining on his existing deal with the Blues but he has already said that he would remain loyal to the club until the current season concludes.

Villas-Boas had a stint with Chinese Super League’s Shanghai SIPG prior to joining Marseille last May, and he is one of the managers that has been tipped to succeed Steve Bruce at St. James’ Park once Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s £300 million takeover of the Magpies goes through. The 42-year-old has ruled himself out of the running for the job, though, and would-be Newcastle owners will have to look elsewhere. “I do not want to return to the Premier League.
