Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo said it is “not his job to convince” players to play for the Premier League club, after media reported that record signing Tanguy Ndombele wants to leave.
British media reported that Ndombele, who joined Tottenham from Olympique Lyonnais for a club record $74 million in July 2019, wants to leave after failing to impress, having scored eight goals in 75 games in all competitions.
“I said it before: my job here is not to convince players to play for Tottenham Hotspur, it is to prepare players to play for Tottenham Hotspur.”
Ndombele is not the only Tottenham player looking to move away from the club, with striker Harry Kane also heavily linked with a transfer to league champions Manchester City.
