Spurs did not make any player signing in the previous two seasons, and now, Tottenham fans will be happy that they signed a new one.

At first, Lyon wanted an outstanding £70m, however, after a series of negotiations, the two clubs finally found a solution, which both agreed at £64.5m.

Tanguy came to Lyon from Amiens on loan for £1,8m, however, also chose to sign him permanently for around £7,1m. Amiens also received around £200k in bonus and 20% of transfer fee if he moved to another club. From Ndombele's transfer fee, Amiens will receive £12.9m.
