that Tottenham ace Tanguy Ndombele keeps parking in Daniel Levy’s spot – because he is always late.

Ndombele, 24, has endured a turbulent spell at Tottenham. The France international’s form has been up and down, both on and off the pitch.

The France ace has been in and out of the Spurs side under Nuno Espirito Santo. It remains to be seen if he will play under Antonio Conte.

The new gaffer is renowned for expecting hard work and plenty of running. Ndombele is hardly going to like that, but Conte expects the best.

If he does not get it, then the likes of Ndombele will be thrown on the scrapheap. He is demanding. Ndombele’s attitude might come into question.

That is, if stories “heard” by Hutchison are true. The pundit says he has been told Ndombele keeps parking in Levy’s spot, as he is late for training.

“Kane, Son, Hojbjerg – they’re not the problem,” Hutchison said. “The culture at the football club is wrong.

“The stories I’ve heard about Ndombele parking in the chief executive’s spot because he is turning up late for training every single day; no discipline.”

Hutchison on Ndombele: Conte will surely end up selling Frenchman

Ndombele is a magical player. A midfielder capable of absolute magic. His goal against Newcastle is a prime example of that, during the 3-2 win.

But his work rate is atrocious. Only on a handful of occasions, has the club-record signing managed to complete 90 minutes for Tottenham.

Normally, Ndombele reaches the hour mark and drifts out of a match. His chat with Daniel Levy on the Amazon documentary highlights his attitude.

Under Conte – it will be his way, or no way. If Ndombele does not up his work rate and improve his attitude, he will be shown the exit door.
