Ndombele is considered by far the worst recruitment in Tottenham's history. Ahead of the 2018-2019 season, Tottenham felt the need to strengthen their power after losing to Liverpool in the European Champions League (UCL) final. In response, Tottenham decided to recruit Ndombele, who was also targeting big clubs like Barcelona.
Ndombele's transfer fee was 60 million euros (about 95.5 billion won), a record high for the club. He even promised the same treatment as Harry Kane. Expectations for Ndombele were sky-high, but it didn't take long to become the worst recruit.
After Mauricio Pochettino was replaced, he was pushed out of the starting line for not playing hard under Jose Mourinho. Ndombele immediately requested a transfer. After Tottenham's persuasion, Ndombele, who remained, showed an ordinary performance as the main player in the 2022-2023 season.

The loan to Olympique Lyon and Naples was a failure, and during the Galatasaray period, it was almost canceled due to lack of weight management. In the end, Tottenham ended the contract with each other by paying Ndombele a penalty ahead of this season.
Surprisingly, Ndombele headed to the French league at the suggestion of OGC Nice. He played well as he was the main player in Nice, making Tottenham fans even angrier. Ndombele was starting every game with few minor injuries until 2024, but he was put on a serious brake in the middle of the season.

Nice also predicted that Ndombele would recover from his injury and return during the A-match in March, but Ndombele could not return in the end. Nice is in an emergency as Ndombele, who was the mainstay of the team, was injured. Nice, who is currently fighting for a place in the European Champions League next season, is precariously holding out in fourth place.
Ndombele is suffering not only from Tottenham fans but also from Nice fans.
