Charlie Ad⛄am has likened Tottenham’s Ndombel꧋e to Arnautovic.

The BBC pundit spoke in glowing terms about the Spurs midf🍌ielder.

After a slow start to thไe season, Tanguy 🅺Ndombele has been in fine form in his last two Premier League outings.

In the win over Newcastle yesterday it was Ndo❀mbele who scored a crucial equaliser in theꦆ 3-2 win.

It was a fantastic display from the Frenchman.

The comparison ꦓto Arnautovic is an interesting one too.

Adam, speaking on the podcast (18:40), stated:

“It’s easy, your job is easy when🌠 you’ve got players like him on the pitch you just have to ⭕go and get him on the ball.”

“Like I said, I’ve played with maver🔥icks likﷺe (Marko) Arnautovic.”

“I just enjoyed getting him the ball and seeing him run at people becauseꦯ I knew he had the speed the power and the strenꦆgth to get by.”

“It was a joy to watch,𓆉 I was glad he was on ♏my team but you know your role in the team.”

“Yeah you have to do certain things but you want to get yourꦡ best players on the ball in forward areas as much as you can.”

“For me ge𓂃tting Arnautovic on it at full flow was great to watch and the Spurs boys will be the same when they see Ndombele running at people.”

“He causes havoc.”

There are a lot of points to dissect from Adam.

He’s right in that Ndombele causes havoc and that he has the 🔥same ‘maverick’ energy that Arnautovic has.

It’s also true that ♈Ndombele needs to be given the ball and allowed to be facilitated for.

That’s why Oliver Skipp aꦺnd Pierre-Emile Hojbjergꦗ are so crucial.

However, Ndo🔥mbele has a much higher ceiling than A💎rnautovic.

The Austrian was a good Premier League player, but Ndombele has the potential to be𒐪 a world s꧃tar.

His performance yesterday was impressive 𝓀but now it’s♒ time to build on that.

At West Ham next week 🤡he can continue to shinꦍe and in the 10 role, anything is possible for the Frenchman.
