Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele wanted by Galatasaray?

While the Frenchman has been back at Spurs this summer, he does not feature in the future plans of head coach Antonio Conte.

Having failed to impress the Italian in the months following the change of head coach, the 25-year-old was allowed to sign on loan for former club Lyon.

During that period, Ndombele made 11 starts and four substitute appearances, his solitary goal coming against West Ham United in the Europa League.

However, with Lyon failing to qualify for Europe for 2022-23 and Ndombele's valuation being significantly out of their price range, a permanent deal has not materialised.

According to Media Foot Marseille, the most recent interest in Ndombele's signature has come from Galatasaray.

Like Lyon, the Turkish giants have failed to secure European football for next season, but that disappointment is leading to a rebuilding job at the Nef Stadium.

A number of notable signings have already been made with Galatasaray beating other European clubs to the signings of Leo Dubois, Sergio Oliveira and Haris Seferovic.

New head coach Okan Buruk now seemingly wants to add Ndombele to his midfield with an enquiry said to have been made in recent days.

The report suggests that a loan deal is the only realistic option with Spurs currently not interest in negotiating a cut-price fee.

Nevertheless, with no continental football, Galatasaray are also not in a position where they can afford to commit to a big financial outlay on the player.

As it stands, it is unclear whether the Super Lig giants will be successful with any bid, the report adding that Spurs are merely open to offers at this stage.

Earlier this summer, Ndombele hinted that he was motivated to earn himself another chance at Spurs, but he has not featured in the squad for a number of their pre-season friendlies.
