New footage of £65m Tottenham flop  goes viral as he appears out-of-shape and struggling playing on loan for Galatasaray after remarkable transformation

After a stunning metamorphosis, footage has surfaced showing an out-of-shape Tanguy Ndombele finding it difficult to play for Galatasaray.

The Frenchman, who paid £65 million to go from Lyon to Tottenham in 2019, still holds the record for the club.

However, he fell short of expectations and was loaned to Napoli for the entire previous season before joining Galatasaray in the summer.

The 27-year-old midfielder appeared to gain weight as he had trouble moving around the field.Before the season began, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou had concerns about his fitness. ‘A little bit physically behind the rest as well you know’ was how the Australian put it to football.london about Ndombele and other Tottenham players.

 

“There’s a bit that I need to be strong on, and that is that you have to be at a certain physical level to play this kind of football,” Postecoglou continued.

Ndombele has constantly battled with his fitness and has been plagued by worries about his weight throughout his career.

Ndombele has only played 385 minutes of league football for the Turkish team this season; numerous reports indicate that he has had trouble staying healthy.

And video from a cup match that Ndombele participated in against Umraniye seems to support that.

After taking Ndombele off the field during halftime of a draw against Burnley, former Spurs manager Jose Mourinho publicly criticized the midfield player. In 2020, former Arsenal footballer Emmanuel Petit also criticized Ndombele, claiming he was overweight.

Following his arrival at Spurs, he had unsuccessful loan stints at Napoli and Lyon, making Galatasaray his fourth club in four years.
