Genoa have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a loan deal for 26-year-old French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Genoa are keen on having Tanguy Ndombele in their ranks and have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a loan deal for the 26-year-old. The French international has not had the best of times since joining the English club and a move elsewhere could help him revive his career.
While the Serie A club have managed to convince Spurs over a loan deal, they are still working to convince the player. Genoa are in talks with the player’s representative as they look to land him at the club. The Frenchman, who joined Tottenham for €62 million, is also a target for Valencia.
Meanwhile, Spurs are desperate to find a solution for Ndombele before the end of the transfer window. The North London club do not have him in their plans for the 2023/24 season, and they believe a move elsewhere will be the best outcome for both parties involved.
Tottenham had acquired the services of the 26-year-old back in the summer of 2019 from Lyon in a whopping deal worth €62 million-plus-add-ons. The French international was showing signs of great promise at Lyon.

Things did not really go according to plan for both the player as well as the club. Ndombele never really got going at the North London club and in the winter of 2022, he was sent back to Lyon on a short loan.
Just after his return, the 26-year-old was once again loaned out. He spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Napoli. While the Partenopei ended up winning the Serie A title, the French international didn’t have much say in it.
He was involved in a total of 40 matches, but the majority of those appearances were off-the-bench cameos. He could only rack up a total of just over 1,200 minutes. Napoli had an option to buy but they decided against it. Post his return, Spurs have been trying to find a solution for Ndombele. They have an agreement with Genoa over a loan deal, but the final decision is on the player.
