Manchester United and Chelsea in transfer battle to sign France midfielder

Manchester United and Chelsea have joined the race to sign France international Tanguy Ndombele. Ndombele, 21, only signed a permanent deal with Ligue 1 side Lyon earlier in the year but now he is linked with a move to Premier League. It is claimed scouts from both Premier League clubs were in attendance at Lyon’s Championship League clash with Hoffenheim on Tuesday. Ndombele played 90 minutes for the visitors and scored as the game finished 3-3. He also helped Lyon beat Manchester City at the Etihad earlier in the season. Pep Guardiola’s City are another team believed to be monitoring Ndombele’s progress, but the Lyon man could reportedly cost over £50million.
