Tottenham Hotspur is a player who deserves to hold the back of his neck.
OGC Nice beat Saint-Etienne 8-0 in the fifth round of the French Ligue 1 team in the 2024-25 season at Allianz Ribeira in France on Monday (Korea time). Nice scored eight goals and scored no points at the same time, advancing to fifth place in the league.
One of the main players of the day’s victory was Tanguy Ndombele. Ndombele, who started as Nice’s central midfielder, scored his debut goal in the seventh minute of the first half. Nice’s cross came up from the right, which was cleared by Saint-Etienne’s defender. Ndombele, who was following him from here, caught the ball in the box and cut Saint-Etienne’s net with a powerful right-footed shot.
This season, Ndombele has completely washed away his slump as a Spurs player. He started all five Nice games since the season’s opening. He has one goal and one assist so far, including a goal against Saint-Etienne.
Naturally, Tottenham fans got caught in the back of their necks. Ndombele left Olympique Lyon to join Tottenham in 2019. At the time, Tottenham invested 63 million pounds (W121 billion) in Ndombele’s acquisition. It was thanks to his outstanding performance in Lyon. Ndombele was one of the most high-profile midfielders in France during his time in Lyon with his brilliant dribbles and sharp passes. Recognizing his capabilities, Tottenham successfully secured Ndombele by paying the highest fee in Tottenham’s history at the time. 토토사이트
However, after joining Tottenham, Ndombele failed to show any significant performance. In addition to his serious slump, he frequently showed unprofessional and insincere attitudes. Tottenham ultimately decided to sell Ndombele, but failed to find a suitable negotiating team. Ndombele had to be loaned to Lyon, Naples, and Galatasaray.
In the meantime, he eventually succeeded in selling Ndombele to Nice this summer. Surprisingly, however, Ndombele is performing at his best upon joining Nice. It may be absurd for Tottenham.
