Tottenham will tell Ndombele and big-name teammate to find new clubs in January - pundit
Tottenham will tell Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli to find new clubs in the January transfer window for their “sanity”, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker claimed Ndombele may struggle to find a new club as Daniel Levy will not want to make a loss on the midfielder.
A Spurs source told Football Insider last week (25 November) Antonio Conte wants the club to listen to offers for the midfielder in January.
He has struggled to make an impact under the new manager and Agbonlahor has suggested Dele will suffer a similar fate.
“What managers don’t understand is that you can’t just come in with a magic wand and think you’re team is going to start winning games and keep clean sheets,” he told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“These are still the same players that have struggled under three managers. He’s going to need his own players in and some players out before that team starts winning games.

“Conte can run them as much as he likes in training. It’s going to be a long season for Spurs. They’ve got no chance of top-six, they are a million miles away from other teams up there.
“Conte’s going to be looking at a lot of ins and outs, for sure.
“Ndombele and Dele Alli, the club will probably say ‘Go and find a new club for your own sanity’.
“I think Spurs fans have turned on Dele Alli.
“Ndombele, how many chances does he need? He’s got the talent but talent is not enough. Hard work beats talent and he hasn’t got hard work. He’s not going to last.
“It will be interesting to see how they get them the out. Clubs are not going to pay anywhere near Spurs paid for Ndombele.
“Daniel Levy is not going to want to lose money so you might just end up in a situation where they are just stuck there.”
