‘Lost patience’ – Tottenham player was 6kg overweight in summer, still not near required level
Tanguy Ndombélé, who was signed by Galatasaray on a loan from Tottenham Hotspur on September 4th, has only played 123 minutes in seven games so far this season.
Journalist Nevzat Dindar of the Milliyet claimed earlier this month that the 26-year-old’s inability to lose weight had caused him difficulties in Istanbul.
The Tottenham player’s weight issue, according to Fotospor, “cannot be resolved to the desired level.”
According to the reports, the former Lyon player was 6 kg overweight when he arrived in Istanbul. The club’s physicians and dietitians responded right away. According to the site, his body fat percentage was at 20%, and the objective was to bring it down to 16.
But despite the 26-year-old’s weight loss of 2 kg and unchanged body fat percentage, “nothing has changed” significantly. The report states that he “continues to be a problem” with his weight, which may affect how long he stays in Turkey.
Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk has reportedly “lost patience” with the Tottenham player and is unhappy with his demeanor and lack of professionalism, according to another report from Fotospor.
The Turkish champions can choose to extend his stay, but according to the outlet, they will end his deal because he hasn’t “contributed anything” in the interim.
Dani de Wit of AZ Alkmaar has been identified by Galatasaray as a possible replacement for Ndombélé, most likely in January. Galatasaray thinks they can sign the former for €1 million, and his contract expires in 2024.
In that case, Tottenham might need to come up with a plan for the Frenchman come January.
BBC pundit says Tottenham youngster is looking like the real deal
Following their most recent victory, Garth Crooks has stated that Micky van de Ven appears to be improving with each and every Tottenham Hotspur game.
The Dutchman was included in BBC Sport writer Crooks’ squad of the week following Ange Postecoglou’s team’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Friday.

In addition to giving Cristian Romero a defensive partner he can rely on and assist develop, Van de Ven offers Spurs with a cool, steadying presence at the back.Tottenham seems to be in the running for the summer signing of the year. James Maddison, who has emerged as the Spurs’ new talisman, is undoubtedly the front-runner.
Guglielmo Vicario, meanwhile, has been a fantastic addition for Tottenham.
Van de Ven, though, ought to be considered for that honor. He already has one of the greatest partnerships in the Premier League with Romero. Additionally, there is room for improvement for the two.
They seem to go really nicely together. And many teams, including Liverpool, are probably kicking themselves for not pursuing van de Ven before Tottenham in the summer.
