Tanguy Ndombele released by Tottenham for 9 billion
“My adventure at London’s top club is over”

He has since bounced around on loan to Olympique Lyonnais, SSC Napoli, and Galatasaray SK. He was also criticized by fans for bingeing on hamburgers and other fast food during the season, and for his lack of physical fitness.
Initially, Ndombele’s contract was set to run until 토토사이트 June of the following year, but Tottenham decided to terminate his contract early with a compensation package of around KRW 9 billion.
When news of Ndombele’s termination broke, fans flocked to Tottenham’s official social media accounts to express their outrage, leaving comments such as “Worst and most expensive signing in club history,” “Does he deserve a goodbye,” and “He should move to Hamburger FC.”
“My adventure in the best of London has come to an end,” Ndombele said on social media on Wednesday, adding, “I have learned so much during my time at Tottenham. I would like to thank my supporters for their unwavering support and wish them the best of luck for the future,” he wrote in his farewell message.
