Tottenham wants to keep up the good work under Mauricio Pochettino, and they have landed themselves quite a signing.
Tottenham fans will have something to celebrate after Tanguy Ndombelé's transfer to the London-based side. Ndombelé was also being followed by Real Madrid and Manchester United, but Spurs' bid for the footballer caught the eye of the French team, resulting in a satisfactory transfer for both parties.
Ndombelé's initial deal with Tottenham will last until the end of the 2024-25 season, according to the team's Twitter feed.
We are delighted to announce the signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Olympique Lyonnais.

Ndombelé's signing ends a 300-day wait for Spurs fans to celebrate a new signing. The last player to be added to the team's roster was Lucas Moura, back in January 31, 2018.
If that was not enough reason to celebrate, the 22-year-old's signing will go down in history as Tottenham's most expensive signing of all time, since the player will join the North London team following an initial payment of $71M. Add-ons included in the contract could take the transfer to $81M.

Ndombelé's signing is not the only one being plotted by Pochettino in the current summer transfer window, as Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo has also been linked with a move to the English capital.
