Tottenham boss Nuno is coy over the future of Tanguy Ndombele.
The manager says it is not his job to convince anyone to play for the club after record signing Ndombele asked to leave.
On Friday, Nuno raised the issue of motivation when asked why the former Lyon man is not being selected.
“What happened in the past I can't even think about, I don't mention out of respect," he said. “What I can tell you is that Tanguy is with us, he works but we have to speak honestly and to take the best out of Tanguy (it) has to come from himself.
“It has to come from himself. I don't want to go much further than that but it has to come from himself.
“We already had a chance to talk but it must come from himself. I said it before, my job here is not to convince players to play for Tottenham Hotspur, it is to prepare players to play for Tottenham Hotspur."
