'My job isn't to convince players to play': Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo dismisses outcast record signing Tanguy Ndombele and tells him to fix up with no buyers likely to hit £51.5m price tag

Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo says it is 'not his job to convince players to play' and that Tanguy Ndombele must find his best form from 'within himself'.

The 24-year-old has endured a tough time in north London since his club-record £55million move from Lyon in 2019 and could be set for an exit this summer.

Nuno has also confirmed that Ndombele will not be involved in Sunday's Premier League visit to Wolves - making him the only first XI player to have not yet played under the new manager.
