West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has showered praise on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, describing him as a ‘silky’ player.
Ndombele, signed by former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino for a reported fee of £53.8 million, struggled in his debut season last term.
He was linked with a move away from the north London club during the summer, with reports even claiming that he has fallen out of favour of manager Jose Mourinho.
However, the Frenchman has turned himself around and he is in scintillating form at the moment. He has established himself as a key player under Mourinho and produced a virtuoso performance in Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.
