# Tottenham: Dean Jones drops Tanguy Ndombele exit claim

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) need to get midfielder Tanguy Ndombele off their books this summer, says transfer insider Dean Jones.**

### **The Lowdown: Ndombele’s situation**

The France international, who was Spurs’ club-record transfer when he joined from Lyon in 2019 for [£55m](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/02/tanguy-ndombele-tottenham-medical-lyon-roma-toby-alderweireld), spent the second half of last season on loan at his former club in Ligue 1.

After returning to Hotspur Way, it appears the 25-year-old’s situation is unchanged for Antonio Conte as he [left the Frenchman out](https://www.givemesport.com/88035668-tottenham-need-to-get-91-game-star-out-of-the-door-at-hotspur-way) of his side’s pre-season tour of South Korea.

[The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-squad-news-pre-season/O3Rckk0IIDER/) previously reported that Conte is only willing to work with players included in his plans, rendering Ndombele available for a move away this summer.

### **The Latest: Jones’ claim**

Jones believes Tottenham need to get Ndombele off their books before the transfer window closes in September.

Speaking with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88035668-tottenham-need-to-get-91-game-star-out-of-the-door-at-hotspur-way), the journalist claimed:

“Let’s be honest, there’s not a huge market out there to sign Ndombele.

“So, Tottenham’s hard work now is working on finding him a home next season, even if that’s on loan, they need to get him out of the door.”

### **The Verdict: Has to go**

Ndombele, who has made[91 appearances for Spurs](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tanguy-ndombele/leistungsdaten/spieler/450936), is certainly not a part of Conte’s plans going forward.

Therefore, it is pointless keeping him at Hotspur Way, given the manager’s reluctance to include those omitted from the squad in day-to-day training.

As a result, Fabio Paratici must do all he can to find the Frenchman a new home this summer, with his [£27m current market value](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tanguy-ndombele/marktwertverlauf/spieler/450936) still on the table.

However, with[three years left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tanguy-ndombele/profil/spieler/450936) on his Lilywhites contract, this could be a huge mountain to climb for Spurs.
