Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has urged for patience with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The Frenchman made his first appearance of the season in Thursday's 2-2 Europa Conference League draw with Rennes, having asked to leave the club before the campaign started.
The club's record buy has been inconsistent since his £60million-plus move from Lyon two years ago and found himself frustrated at being left out of the side by interim boss Ryan Mason at the end of last season.
He showed glimpses of what he is capable of at Rennes as an audacious off-balance backheel helped set up Spurs' opener and he was the player most likely to break the lines.
