Ledley King urges patience with Tottenham midfielder Ndombele

Ex-Tottenham captain Ledley King believes his former side have signed a “great talent” this summer in midfielde♏r Tanguy Ndomeble, but has urged fans to be patient with him.

Spurs broke their transfer record this summer to sign Ndombele for £53.8million () f🐼rom Lyon.

The 2☂2-year-old Frenchman is a box-to-box midfielder that has impressed in Ligue 1 and appears to have the physical attributes to be a hit in the Premier League too.

He’s been integrated into Mꦍauricio Poc🌞hettino’s squad during pre-season and looked solid in the centre of the park.

King is confident that Ndombele is going to be a success with Spurs, but w💙ants supporters to give him time to adjust and get up to speed.

“He’s 🦩an all-round type of midfield player. I think it will t🌸ake him a little bit of time to get used to it here,”

“The French leagu෴e is different and I think 🎃he’s already said that the intensity of training sessions here and especially with Mauricio is going to take some getting used to.

“We’re going to have to be patient with him, but there’s no doubting he’s a top quality player. He came on in his first game and he affected the game, making an assist for a goal. We’re very happy to have brought him into the club and we have to be patient with him, get him up to speed and aware tactica🐻lly of what the manager wants. He’s a great talent.”

Moussa Sissoko is a perfect example at Spurs that you should never write off a player too early, as he’s gone o🌼n to become a key player after a poor start.

He struggled at first aft♈er arriving for a big price tag, something that fans will hope doesn’t happen with their latest recruit.

Ndomeble ♔appears to have settled in quickly though and it would be no surprise to see him light up the Premier League ins🌞tantly.

He’s a powerhouse central midfielder that can offer som💟ething in attack too, as he was directly involved in 11 goals in 49 games across all competitio💯ns last season.
