According to The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare, Tanguy Ndombele’s lack of effort compared to his team-mates against Burnley really infuriated Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho.
The France international was hauled off at half-time against the Clarets after an uninspiring 45 minutes.
Ndombele was making his fourth Premier League start under the Portuguese, but failed to impress.
According to Mourinho, the £55 million summer arrival didn’t want the ball, didn’t connect the game, didn’t press, didn’t recover the ball and didn’t win duels.
The Tottenham midfielder is struggling to adapt to the demands of the English top-flight, and a dressing room source told the Athletic that he has not made enough of an effort to.
