      And according to Sky Sports News, German champions Bayern have offered Tolisso plus an extra £20m for the want-away midfielder.
      But, it is claimed Tottenham turned the deal down.
      Ndombele, 24, will not feature in Spurs’ trip to Wolves on Sunday.
      Despite being fit to play and taking part in first-team training, he also missed the games against Manchester City and Pacos de Ferreira.
      Nuno said on Friday: “[Ndombele] was not part of the squad in the Conference League because he was not included in the list.
      “But I will be honest with you, Tanguy will not be involved on Sunday.”
      Ndombele, Spurs a club-record £55m from Lyon in 2019, but suffered rocky start to his career under Jose Mourinho.
      But his form picked up last season, making 46 appearances, where he also managed six goals.
      The Frenchman continued to play even when Mourinho was sacked and replaced by interim manager Ryan Mason.
      But since Nuno took over full-time from Wolves, Ndombele has not been featured.

      The new Spurs boss said: “What happened in the past I can’t even think about, I don’t mention out of respect.
      “What I can tell you is that Tanguy is with us, he works but we have to speak honestly and to take the best out of Tanguy [it] has to come from himself.
      “I don’t want to go much further than that but it has to come from himself. We already had a chance to talk but it must come from himself.
      “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.”

      And that was despite banging in 46 goals for Bayern Munich last season – plus two more in the Club World Cup as well.
      Lewandowski, 32, has also scored three in two games to hit the ground running this season.
      He won The Best Fifa Men’s Player prize in 2020 by edging out Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
      But he will not be claiming this Uefa gong when the winner is announced during the Champions League group stage draw on August 26.
      And his future at Bayern Munich is also up in the air after reports said he wants to leave the club and has a £100m transfer fee slapped on him.
      The Uefa winner will be either Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne, or one of Chelsea’s midfield pair Jorginho or N’Golo Kante.
      Messi was fourth on the list ahead of Lewandowski in fifth place.
      Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma came in sixth with Kylian Mbappe seventh and Raheem Sterling eighth.
      Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland rounded off the top 10.
      The shortlist was voted for by managers of teams in last season’s Champions League, Europa League and the Euros, as well as 55 selected journalists.
      And Lewandowski’s omission from the top three was slammed on social media.

      One tweet read: “Robert Lewandowski scored 41 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich, broke a 50-year record set by Gerd Muller even after a month injured, had an amazing Euro 2020 with an awful Poland team, yet loses out on the top 3 for UEFA Men’s Player of the Year.”
      Another said: “It’s still okay if Kante and Jorginho are in the UEFA Men’s player of the year top three but what’s De Bruyne doing on that list?? Ahead of Messi and Lewandowski?.”
      And another user posted: “Lewandowski isn’t in Top 3 UEFA nominations.. This guy definitely needs a PR team.”
      One more said: “Lewandowski really broke the record for most Bundesliga goals {41} just for ending fifth in UEFA award.”

      “I saw the boy, he was no longer really responsive. We hope it’s nothing worse.”

      Arsenal and Tottenham fighting for cut-price £17m Denis Zakaria transfer with midfielder certain to quit Monchengladbach

      by

      Denis Zakaria could cost £17million this summer amid reports of a drop in the asking price for the Gladbach starCredit: Getty
      German newspaper Bild claims all three Prem rivals are keen on bringing the midfielder to England’s top-flight this summer. 
      And it is thought the player is ramping up efforts to boost his return to fitness after falling ill with Covid-19 at the end of July.
      Bild claims Zakaria, 24, who joined Monchengladbach in 2017, has spent his summer running roughly five to six miles on a treadmill on a daily basis. 
      It is reported the highly sought-after player, who moved to the Bundesliga from Swiss club Young Boys, is eager to stay in peak condition in case of a summer move. 
      Zakaria has been attracting attention from some of Europe’s biggest sides in the past few seasons.
      Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool are reported to have been monitoring the Swiss ace’s form and performances. in the past.
      In March 2020, the 6ft 2in defensive midfielder – who can also play in midfield – was thought to be valued around the £43million mark. 
      And Sport Witness claims Monchengladbach are now hoping to get at least £33m for one of their most promising stars. 
      However, it is thought issues with a knee injury – which kept Zakaria out of action in 11 games across all competitions last term – could force the club to reduce their asking price.

      Reports in Germany claim the club – who finished eighth in the Bundesliga – may be willing to listen to offers of around £17m. 
      Zakaria, whose Mondchengladbach contract runs out in June 2022, made 32 appearances for the club last term across all competitions notching up one goal and one assist. 
      And the midfielder played twice at Euro 2020, helping Switzerland reach the quarter-finals against Spain, where he scored an early own goal.

      Erling Haaland breaks silence on Jadon Sancho’s Man Utd transfer and admits he is ‘sad’ at pal’s Dortmund exit

      ‘SAD’ Erling Haaland has broken his silence on pal Jadon Sancho’s Borussia Dortmund exit. Sancho will complete his £73million transfer to Manchester United in the coming days.

      And it means breaking up one of Europe’s deadliest partnerships with Haaland left behind.
      The duo boasted a combined tally of 89 goals and assists between them in 2020-21 as Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga and won the DFB-Pokal Cup.
      Asked who can fill Sancho’s boots next season, Haaland told Stadium Astro: “Me and Jadon understood each other very well and he’s a top player.
      “So of course it’s sad that he goes but that’s how it is and that’s football. You never know what will happen.
      “But I think that there’s a lot of other good players that I have a good tone with and it can become even better.
      “We have to see who I match the best with.”
      Haaland’s dad Alf-Inge posted an X-rated tweet upon finding out Sancho was leaving Dortmund for Old Trafford.
      His son may be a £150m target for Chelsea this summer – where he would become the club’s top earner – but is expected to stay put at Dortmund for at least another season.
      He is back at the club for pre-season training and adjusting to life under new boss Marco Rose who has arrived from Borussia Monchengladbach.
      Haaland added: “I talked a little bit with him and I know him from before because I had him for six months at Red Bull Salzburg.

      “He’s a nice guy and I look forward to working with him.
      “I heard the training sessions are hard here so it’s exactly the same as it was at Salzburg. Hard training and a lot of running.
      “That’s what I expect the tactics to be, to press a lot and run a lot and attack a lot.”
