Tottenham loanee Tanguy Ndombele sends eight-word message to Christian Eriksen after playing against him this week

There was a Tottenham Hotspur reunion in the Champions League this week as Tanguy Nd💙ombele faced Christian Eriksen at Old Trafford.

The pair turned out for Spurs together on 15 occasions before the 𓃲Dane moved to Inter Milan🐼.

Ndombele has a messagꦇe to his teammate on social media following their encounter.

There were plenty of question marks over what Tottenham would do with Tanguy Ndombele this summer.

He went out on loan to Italian side Napoli last season and helped them win Serieℱ✱ A.

The French internat🌟ional wasn’t a regular starter but certainly played his part in a historic campaign for the club.

He praised the 26-year-old during his first weeks at the clܫub but an injury picked up on tour effectively ended his chances💙 of breaking into the squad.

Ndombele was placed on the transfer list but a suitable bid never arri🎐ved, leading him to join Galatasaray on loan.

There was a Tottenham reunion on Tuesday when Ndombele came on and faced up against Christian Eriksen.

Remarkably, the Turkish side came out on top putting further pressure on Eri💮k ten Hag.

They’ve lacked creativity in central areas, with Harr♔y Kane relied upon too regularly to make things happen.

Despite his departure, that no longer seems to be a pr🥀oblem after the arrival of summer signing James Maddison.

He’s transformed Postecoglou’s team and the mood of the whole c𝔉lub has lifted significant🎃ly this season.

Whether Ndombele has any chance of making a return to Tottenham when his loan ends next summer i𒉰s yet to be discovered.

He🍷 would need to put in plenty of show-stopping performances in Turkey to make t꧑hat happen.
