Tanguy Ndombele is keen to fight for his place at Tottenham and is hoping to make his first appearance of the season within the next week, according to reports.
The 24-year-old looked set to leave Spurs in the transfer window after being left out of all their pre-season matches as well as all five of the club's competitive fixtures in August.
His omission has come with boss Nuno Espirito Santo questioning the Frenchman's attitude late last month, telling him to fix up and that his best form must 'come from himself'.
