Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have been reacting to a claim which was made regarding the club’s French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
According to a report by The Athletic, the player hopes to be ‘close to full capacity’ within the next two to three weeks.
This is following the 2019/20 season, which it is claimed in the report was ‘plagued’ with issues regarding injuries and the Frenchman’s fitness.
So far this season, the 23-year-old midfielder has made four appearances for Spurs in all competitions in which he has scored one goal and provided no assists (per Transfermarkt).
The claim regarding Ndombele’s fitness was relayed to social media by Hotspur Related and it had lots of fans talking.

During the 2019/20 campaign, Ndombele made 21 Premier League appearances for Spurs in which he scored two goals and provided two assists (per WhoScored).
Over his outings in the top flight, Ndombele earned a 6.71/10 average rating which only made him Tottenham’s joint-13th-best performer.
Can Tanguy Ndombele become a star player for Spurs?
No, he's not good enough
Yes, he's a class player
This may be sacrilege but….. hear me out….. if Tanguy Ndombele continues to improve, have we finally found a midfielder that can reach the qualities that @mousadembele gave us?

While many fans were keen to gush over Ndombele, during his two Premier League appearances this season, he has earned a weak 6.20/10 average rating.
The rating has made him the third-worst performer to feature for Jose Mourinho’s side in the league so far this term.
Tanguy laying it off for Bale…SIUUUU!!!!
