Tanguy Ndombélé on the Verge of OGC Nice Reunion
Loan Move to Southern France Imminent for Tottenham Midfielder
Deal Expected to Be Finalized in Coming Days
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombélé is reportedly closing in on a loan move to his former club, OGC Nice. The French international spent the second half of last season on loan with the Ligue 1 outfit, impressing with his performances and helping them secure a ninth-placed finish. According to multiple sources, Tottenham and Nice are in advanced talks over a deal that would see Ndombélé return to the Allianz Riviera for the 2023/24 campaign. The loan move is expected to include an option for Nice to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season. Ndombélé joined Tottenham from Lyon in 2019 for a club-record fee of £55 million. However, he has struggled to live up to expectations in North London, failing to establish himself as a regular starter under successive managers. A loan move to Nice could provide him with a fresh start and the opportunity to rediscover his best form.The 26-year-old is a powerful and technically gifted midfielder who is comfortable playing in a variety of roles. He is strong in the tackle, good in the air, and possesses an excellent range of passing. Ndombélé's return to Nice would be a major boost for the club, who are looking to build on their impressive campaign last season.
The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, subject to a medical and personal terms being agreed upon. Ndombélé will become the second Tottenham player to join Nice this summer, following the permanent transfer of goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini.
Tottenham are keen to offload Ndombélé, who is not part of manager Antonio Conte's plans. The club are reportedly open to selling the midfielder permanently this summer, but a loan move to Nice could provide him with the opportunity to prove his worth and earn a permanent move back to his former club.
Ndombélé's return to Nice would be a welcome addition for the club, who are looking to challenge for a European place next season. The French international would add quality and experience to their midfield and would be a valuable asset in their quest for success.
