Tanguy Ndombele's move to Tottenham Hotspur has not gone to plan. He moved from Lyon for a club-record fee of €62 million last summer. However, the midfielder has failed to impress manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has been vocal about his criticism of the France international, often using him as a substitute. The relationship between the player and the manager is said to be fragile, with many reports suggesting that Ndombele would like to leave in the summer.

Ndombele would provide dynamism and energy to a Barcelona midfield which lacks both currently. An excellent dribbler, the 23-year old would be an ideal addition to the Catalan club's midfield.

This season, the former Amiens man has made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists. He has been linked with Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
