Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Napoli have now entered the race to sign Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
Until two of weeks ago, reports had indicated that none of the clubs interested in Ndombele had made a concrete move for the Frenchman this summer (The Athletic).
However, that appeared to change a couple of days ago, with Sky Sports reporting on live transfer blog (at 8 August, 9:53) that Villarreal were also exploring a deal for the former Lyon man while negotiating a deal for Giovani Lo Celso with Spurs.
Spanish journalist Xavi Jorquera Marquez subsequently claimed on Tuesday that the La Liga club had got a ‘yes’ from Ndombele.
He asserted that Unai Emery had personally called the Tottenham star to explain the project at El Madrigal and that the midfielder was excited about joining the club.
Romano has now taken to social media to confirm Villarreal are in talks with Spurs regarding a deal for both Ndombele and Lo Celso.
However, the journalist claimed that the Spanish club could face competition from Napoli, who have also expressed an interest in the 25-year-old.
Napoli are among clubs interested in Tanguy Ndombele. He’s one of the options in the list, while Napoli are working on Keylor Navas, Raspadori and Gio Simeone deals.

Spurs Web Opinion
I doubt either Villarreal or Napoli would even be able to cover half of Ndombele’s wages. So, one would hope that the Frenchman decides to take a wage cut.
Wherever Ndombele ends up, the upcoming season could be make-or-break for his career. Unless he shows signs of fulfilling his potentially, his career might go the way of someone like Adel Taarabt or worse, David Bentley.
