Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has praised midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The Frenchman has been out of favour at Spurs ever since he arrived from Lyon under Mauricio Pochettino.
Failing to impress either Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte, Ndombele spent last season on-loan at Napoli.
Asked about the box to box star, Postecoglou told reporters: Yeah, Tanguy has been good. He is working hard at training, to be fair they all are, they have got no option.
Again, I take things as I see them. For me, he is obviously a very talented footballer, he was part of team that won Serie A last year and within that context, I am pleased to have him here and part of the group. What that means long-term, again I will not get into the definite of that because a lot of that will depend on how the team shapes up and how he shapes up.
He may decide this is not for him. I'm not sure. Like I said, the group I have had in so far have been really good at embracing the change of direction, the way we are doing things. As I said, once we get all the other guys in, it will be great to see how everyone measures up and decisions will be made moving forward from there over who will be involved and who won't."
