I also have a feeling that this is pretty much done. With Aulas saying when you see a young CM arrive in the coming days, NDombele will leave (that indicates that Aulas knows there is a club that is willing to pay the asking price). Also we have the player himself saying he is interested in joining us at the weekend. Additionally, the asking price is only 63 million apparently?! I'm sure Levy is willing to meet that for a player of this calibre. I just think Lyon are delaying it until they get replacements in.

I have a feeling that once Lyon get the player in they need, the Ndombele deal will happen very quickly.

I think we both know levy keeps on waking in the night in a cold sweat knowin he has to part with that amount of cash for a player.

Lots of man utd comments cropping up. Not sure what to believe
When on French duty, Ndombele would have had two references from three players - Pogba for United and Sissoko/Lloris for us. I imagine he received one glowing reference and one average reference. This gives me hope.

They might be interested but it’s hard to tell if it’s serious or not considering they’ve been linked with any person who has legs

Last week Delaney at the Independent said Utd were interested in Ndombele but felt Spurs were clear favourites. I guess they could have thrown more money at it but it seems we are offering good money and a better football project.

Also worried about Madrid because I think it's unlikely they're going to get Pogba. Although I don't think they can guarantee a starting place like we can. ITK very quiet on this one

Saw something about Pogba being in line for a loyalty bonus come 1st of July. If true, that might mean him/his agent stalling on any move so as to pick up the bonus first. Could work in our favour then, obviously.

They are all coming from this one Soccer Link story. They're reliability is heavily debatable. ManU fans just swarm in a way we only see as a microcosm in Spurs fandom because their fanbase is SO massive. Makes it seem like there are a lot of reports and stories and whatnot when really it's just the one source.

There has not been one credible link to anyone but us and the Lyon president has changed his message and is no longer trying to drum up an auction having moved on to saying they are looking for his replacement all of which leads me to only one conclusion, he will be gracing the new turf in N17 this season.

This is it. I see the trending algorithms skewed by Utd or Liverpool usually just wanting a player to join rather than any tangible links.

There's so much pointing towards Ndombele being very close to signing for us. Football transfers aren't an exact science and we can only try to follow the smoke. In other words: Let's chill and try to enjoy the ride!

SSN posted a rumor article with all the players they have been "linked" with or are interested in.

That list is literally 50-100 players long. All players mentioned have a newspaper name behind it for reference, which is clear as day to anyone who knows how marketing and ads online work (I do its part of my profession) that these are all made up for click bait.

I think 5% of all the linked players may be true but I don't see N'Dombele being one of them.
