Report: Mauricio Pochettino convinced Tanguy Ndombele to join Tottenham Hotspur by telling him they intend to build a Premier League-winning team for 2019/20

According to L’Équipe (via GFFN), Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele was fully convinced he wants to join Tottenham Hotspur after a trip to the North London club earlier this month.

The France international was with the national team for the Euros 2020 qualifiers before visiting Spurs’ facilities, but it was a discussion with boss Mauricio Pochettino that persuaded him into agreeing on a move.

The Argentine told Ndombele of the club’s project going forward, and of their plans to assemble a squad capable of winning the English Premier League next season.

Tottenham fans would surely love the report given the club’s lack of silverware in recent times.
