NAPOLI are reportedly on the verge of signing Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele on a season-long loan.
Ndombele, 25, joined Spurs in 2019 for a club-record £65million fee.
However, his inconsistent performances have left both fans and first-team coaches unimpressed.
The Frenchman fell out-of-favour with Antonio Conte last season which ultimately led to him being sent back to Lyon on a short-term loan.
But, upon his return to London he was ‘banished’ from first-team training by the Spurs boss, who told him that he must find another club before the transfer window closes in September.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a move away is finally on the cards for Ndombele.
