Jose Mourinho tipped to axe Tottenham star who is stopping them from challenging for title

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has been tipped to sell Tanguy Ndombele this summer. The midfielder has struggled to impress since his move to Spurs from Lyon last summer. Mourinho is said to be keen to axe the 23-year-old, however, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is refusing to give up on their £54m record signing. Former Leeds ace Noel Whelan says Mourinho must sell Ndombele this summer. Whelan told Football Insider: “He’s done nothing since he came to Tottenham, quite frankly. He had that debut where he scored a goal but after that, clearly, he doesn’t have the work rate that Jose Mourinho or the Premier League demands to become a special player. “It’s different in France when you’re playing there, it’s a different style and different pace – not as good players there so you can stand out. Does he stand out in the Tottenham side in every game that he plays? Not really. “There’s certain things that you demand and the first thing you look for is character and can you fit into a squad? You’ve just gone and seen Liverpool win the championship with a tight-knit group, they’re all friends, they all work hard, in the midfield area there’s not one that doesn’t put themselves about. Now he’s shown he can’t do that and with those sort of players in the side, you’re not going to challenge for the Premier League title.” Source: Express
