Tottenham and Valencia have reached an agreement over a loan deal for Tanguy Ndombele - but the player isn't sure on the move, according to reports in France. Spurs technical director Fabio Paratici has been working hard on exits this month as he looks to bolster Antonio Conte's transfer budget and the Italian is now trying to manufacturer Ndombele's exit.
The Frenchman has failed to take his game to the next level since arriving for a club-record £55million fee from Lyon in the summer of 2019 - despite flashes of his exceptional talent.
Upon arrival in north London, Conte was intrigued as to why things haven't worked out for the tricky midfielder under previous managers before his appointment.
However, the former Inter Milan boss has also struggled to get the best from Ndombele in his opening two-and-a-half months at the helm since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo.
Now the club want to offload the former Lyon man - remaining open to either a straight loan or permanent deal.

Tottenham are said to have been offered Leandro Paredes as part of discussions yet there was little interest in taking the Argentine as part of the deal.
Ander Herrera is another name that reportedly cropped up during discussions.
Spurs already have a replacement in mind in the form of Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat.
The Moroccan could arrive on an initial loan with an option to buy with talks now advanced with Fiorentina.
