Last month, Tottenham Hotspur allowed Tanguy Ndombéle to join Galatasaray on a loan deal that includes an option to buy for €15m.
The midfielder, who returned to the north London club last season after a loan spell at Napoli, failed to impress Ange Postecoglou in pre-season, prompting another loan move.
The Tottenham-owned player has played 39 minutes in three substitute appearances this season and Milliyet reporter Nevzat Dindar explained why he struggled against the Turkish champions.
Galatasaray next face Manchester United in the Champions League at Old Trafford, and watching Wednesday’s game, Dindar revealed why the Istanbul club have not started using the Frenchman regularly this season. “Ndombélé is overrated. I watched the training. Kerem Demirbay and Sergio Oliveira play in Galatasaray’s midfield. Expectations are high. I don’t think Galatasaray would risk for Ndombélé. I say one month for Ndombélé, he said. The reporter believes the 26-year-old has the qualities to establish himself as a key player for Galatasaray.
“Ndombélé is not an ordinary player. I look at Fred with admiration. I said it in the last show, Fred, it would be different if he was at Galatasaray, but I think Ndombélé will also make a name for himself,” explained Dindar. . Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has included Tottenham for the game against Manchester United and it remains to be seen whether he will play at Old Trafford.
