Additionally, Conte&#8217;s side would be open to making Ndombele part of any swap deal to bring in a new player this month.<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Hotspur Trying to Sanction Loan or Permanent Exit For Tanguy Ndombele This Month<\/h2>\n<h3>French Midfielder Has Endured Torrid Time in English Football<\/h3>\n<p>Ndombele arrived at Tottenham amid much fanfare after a club-record transfer from Lyon in July 2019, but his time at the Premier League side quickly turned sour and now looks to be nearing its end.<\/p>\n<p>Previous Spurs boss Jose Mourinho endured a fractitious relationship with the player, praising his talents but also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11095\/11952871\/was-jose-mourinho-right-to-criticise-spurs-midfielder-tanguy-ndombele\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criticising Ndombele in public<\/a> following a 1-1 draw with Burnley in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Mourinho was reluctant to hand any further opportunities to Ndombele, but the midfielder was seemingly handed a lifeline when Spurs sacked the 58-year-old in April.<\/p>\n<p>Nuno Espirito Santo was brought in to be the club&#8217;s next permanent manager, but the former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss was replaced by Antonio Conte after an ill-fated spell in charge earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>It now appears that Conte has required little time to become convinced that Ndombele&#8217;s future lies away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The only question is whether the player will leave this month or at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Conte&#8217;s Improving Spurs Survive FA Cup Scare to Advance Past Morcambe<\/h3>\n<p>Signs of this Tottenham side&#8217;s existing frailties were evident in this weekend&#8217;s FA Cup tie with League One visitors Morecambe, despite Conte&#8217;s men <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/59911421\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advancing in the competition<\/a> with a 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n<p>The third-division team took the lead in the first half, and managed to hold onto their advantage until Harry Winks scored with a free-kick in the 74th minute of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Substitutes Lucas Moura and Harry Kane were needed to secure victory for the hosts, who had struggled badly until the latter stages. Ndombele was named in the starting line-up for the tie, which might yet turn out to be his last appearance for Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<a id=\"kT9Mq1PoTTdYqvmu5oN7Gg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1341923135\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'kT9Mq1PoTTdYqvmu5oN7Gg',sig:'qhSA4IuTr1sVoOXOED95o8ISTmgW2-cSQtzWQPrtJU8=',w:'594px',h:'384px',items:'1341923135',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to offload midfielder Tanguy Ndombele in the current transfer window, with the 25-year-old having failed to win over previous managers Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo, as well as current boss Antonio Conte.
