Since Ndombele has been on the scene, he has always been compared to Ex-Tottenham player Mousa Dembele because of his ability to carry the ball and dominate the central midfield area as part of a double pivot or a flanking player in a midfield 3.
At Lyon, Ndombele was especially impressive when in a double pivot with Lucas Tousart.
Tousart is more naturally defensive while Ndombele’s instinct is to carry and attack, when Tousart did get forward though, Ndombele was strong at covering him in the defensive role.

At Amines, you would see Ndombele play as a wide midfielder in a midfield 4 so he is confident in the wide spaces to take on defenders and put in a cross.
Defending:
Many people won’t have realised how good Ndombele is at defending, and I’m not surprised, he hasn’t been half as good in the defending aspect at Tottenham than when he was at Lyon.

Midfield:
Tanguy loves to dribble/bring the ball forward and he is amazing at it, it’s very rare that you see him lose the ball or get beaten in a duel, very similar to Mousa Dembele.
Tanguy’s passing/vision is very underrated imo.

Here are two clips of Tanguy picking the ball up, turning with speed and getting the ball forward.
He does it all the time and it’s extremely effective, I noticed him doing it as soon as he joined us.
He learnt this at Lyon, him & Aouar would constantly do it all game.

Many fans would be pleased to see this stat because I know many fans hate on Harry Winks for constantly passing sideways or backwards.
Attacking:
Since young, people have said one of Tanguy’s stronger attributes are that he has a very good understanding of when to go forward and when to stay.
Most of the time you won’t see Ndombele in the final third, more likely he is the reason the ball is in the final third

In 157 professional games, Tanguy has 8 goals & 27 assists.
In 18/19, Tanguy was one of if not the hottest prospect around, most of the big clubs had somewhat interest in him and it was deserved, he is honestly amazing.

He has fitness issues, he’s come from a very low intensity league to the most intense league itw, he needs more than a year to get used to it.
He’s still only 23, he has the ability to be one of the best players itw, give him time and support him, not constantly criticising him.

£63M for Ndombele is a bargain.
