'Barcelona a better fit for Ndombele than Spurs' - Bent says 'something's not right' with midfielder

Tanguy Ndombele "cannot find his feet" at Tottenham, according to Darren Bent, who believes Barcelona would be a better fit for the midfielder's talents.

Spurs completed the signing of Ndombele from Lyon for £63 million ($78m) in July last year, after seeing off competition from a number of top European clubs.

The France international committed to a five-year contract with the north London outfit, and has since racked up 27 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and laying on four assists.
