Tanguy Ndombele arrived at Tottenham in the summer of 2019 for a club-record 68 million Euros.
The move has never really got going for the French man. To make matters worse, the man who signed Mauricio Pochettino has since been fired and the new boss Jose Mourinho does not appear to want to give the 23-year-old midfielder a chance.
Dimitar Berbatov is all too familiar with having to impress a new boss and admits it is not an easy challenge.
Speaking to Betfair the retired Bulgarian international thinks the exit door may be Ndombele’s best option.
He said: “Ndombele was brought in under Mauricio Pochettino and it is normal for a new manager to shake things up.”
“Maybe Mourinho thinks the Frenchman doesn’t fit into his system.”
“I was in a similar situation at Leverkusen. We changed managers three times and I needed to prove myself to each one, show them that I deserved to play.”
“Also, at Spurs when Martin Jol left and Juande Ramos came, I remember him telling me that for his first game in charge he wanted to try something different, and he put me on the bench.”
“Ndombele has been linked with Bayern Munich and, if Mourinho continues to leave him out and the player doesn’t want to sit on the bench, then he should move for sure.”
“Sometimes you can bust your balls in every training session, score goals in games and play good football but, if the manager doesn’t like you, there’s nothing you can do.”
