Struggles Continue for Tanguy Ndombele as Galatasaray Video Raises Concerns

Galatasaray‘s Tanguy Ndombele, once touted as a blockbuster signing by Tottenham Hotspur fans, continues to face challenges in his career. The French midfielder, who became Spurs’ record signing in 2019, has struggled to find his form since leaving the English club.

Ndombele, 27, started his tenure at Tottenham with promise but soon lost his place in the starting lineup. He was subsequently loaned to Lyon and Napoli before joining Galatasaray on loan this summer. However, his time in Turkey has been far from successful.

Recent reports from the country have indicated that Ndombele has been dealing with weight issues, with Galatasaray officials expressing concerns that he is 6kgs overweight. These concerns were magnified when a video of the midfielder struggling to keep up during a match surfaced on social media.

The footage captured Ndombele looking visibly out of shape as he labored to chase after the ball in the middle of the pitch. While camera angles can sometimes be unflattering, fans were stunned by the stark difference in Ndombele’s physique compared to his days at Tottenham.

On numerous occasions, Ndombele’s fitness and weight have come under scrutiny. Former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho publicly criticized the midfielder, and ex-Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit claimed he was overweight. Galatasaray is now the fourth club Ndombele has been associated with in as many years.

The struggles faced by Ndombele raise questions about his future as a professional footballer. With Galatasaray loaning him from Tottenham, it remains to be seen if the Frenchman can rediscover his form and prove his worth on the pitch.
