Former Tottenham Hotspur player, Tanguy Ndombele, has signed for a new club after ending his contract with Spurs last month.

The talented midfielder has agreed to end his time with his parent club, despite having a year left on his contract.

It marks the end to a disappointing career with Spurs, and potentially an opportunity to revive his stuttering career.


Ndombele has signed for French side Nice after spending last season on loan with Turkish champions Galatasaray.

At Nice, he will be looking to recapture the form he exhibited for former club Lyon, which originally put him on the radar of Europe's elite in 2017.

Last season he featured 19 times for Galatasary, but still failed to make a serious impact at the Super Lig club, often facing criticism around his fitness and weight.

He has since posted an emotional message to the club's fans on his Instagram, saying: 'Thank you to the managers, staff, teammates for this adventure which led us to the title of champion.

The 27-year-old will reunite with former sporting director Florian Maurice, who he knows from their time together at Lyon. 

He last played for Tottenham in third-round FA Cup tie with Morecambe on 9 January 2022 and was booed off the pitch.

Ndombele was a league winner in Italy for Napoli in the 2022-23 campaign before making a move to Galatasaray.
