Tanguy Ndombele: Lyon President Denies Deal With Tottenham & Threatens to Increase Price Tag

Lyon club president Jean-Michel Aulas has publicly denied that an agreement has been reached with Tottenham over the transfer of Tanguy Ndombele, as he sets out his stall for a higher price.

Ndombele made 49 appearances across competitions for the Ligue 1 side last season, making his presence particularly felt during the club's Champions League run, in which they got four points off Manchester City in the group stage and held Barcelona in the first leg of the last 16.

With those performances logged, and a place in the French national team earned, the 22-year-old has received plenty of attention this summer, with Tottenham emerging as the frontrunners for his signature.
