Tottenham sign tanguy ndombele from lyon for club record 65m
That's correct! On July 2, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur signed French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele from Olympique Lyonnais for a club-record fee of £63 million (approximately €72 million or $80 million). The transfer was a significant coup for the club, as Ndombele was one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe at the time.
Ndombele, who was just 22 years old at the time of the transfer, had established himself as a key player for Lyon, helping the team win the Ligue 1 title in the 2018-19 season. He was known for his exceptional dribbling skills, vision, and passing range, and was expected to bring a new level of creativity and attacking flair to Tottenham's midfield.
The transfer was seen as a major statement of intent by Tottenham, who were looking to strengthen their squad and challenge for major honors in the years to come. Ndombele has since become a regular starter for the club, and has helped Tottenham reach the Champions League final in 2020.
