According to The Athletic, the Frenchman is open to a move and coach Nuno will only play those he considers committed to the club.

Ndombele 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.

The manager 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 cost £55million when signing from Lyon in 2019 and Tottenham are said to want the money back on the player, should they sell him.

A move to Spain or Germany is reportedly of interest to the midfielder, who earns £200,000-a-week on a contract the runs for another four years.

Finding a buyer willing to meet those numbers will prove tough in the final weeks of the window.

Former boss Jose Mourinho fell out with Ndombele during his time with the club, although the France international bounced back to make 46 appearances in all competitions last season.

Ryan Mason’s short spell in charge also saw him dropped to the bench for the final weeks of last season, having earlier been left out the side that lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
