Tanguy Ndombele is one of the lesser known players on this list. The Frenchman is only 21 years old but is already impressing at Lyon. This is because he’s been in great form lately with his box-to-box play. One could even say he is a more aggressive Mousa Dembele.

While Lyon would love to keep Ndombele, they don’t seem very confident. The president said “I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to keep Ndombele… next summer.” He could be traded away even before then.

It should be noted that Manchester City and Arsenal have also shown interest in the young midfielder. If Tottenham want to sign him, they might have to act this January.
