Sanchez, Ndombele set to leave Tottenham for Galatasaray

Tottenham are on the brink of transferring both Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele to Galatasaray, according to information obtained by the PA news agency.

Even though the English transfer window closed on Friday night, transfer opportunities in other European leagues are still open. Turkish club Galatasaray has expressed interest in two players whom Spurs consider surplus to requirements.

Tanguy Ndombele, who has been on the fringes, is poised to join Galatasaray on loan, with an option to make the move permanent. Meanwhile, Davinson Sanchez, who has made only two appearances under Ange Postecoglou this season, is close to completing a permanent transfer.

These departures will be a welcome development for Postecoglou, who has consistently emphasized his desire to streamline a bloated first-team squad, especially with Premier League commitments until January being the sole focus.

Ndombele will get his wish of Champions League football by signing for the Turkish Superliga side, with this set to be his third consecutive loan spell away from Spurs since he joined in 2019.

The French international was originally given a chance to revive his Tottenham career upon Postecoglou’s arrival, but an ankle injury in pre-season was followed with poor time-keeping issues that saw the Australian coach give the green light for Ndombele’s departure.

Sanchez will follow him to Galatasaray in a deal worth in the region of 15million euros, which brings his six-year association with the north London outfit to an end.

Colombia centre-back Sanchez made 207 appearances for Tottenham following his arrival from Ajax but endured a mixed time, with his last outing for the club in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Fulham in the Carabao Cup where his spot-kick was saved.
