He had been linked with a loan move this January, with Barcelona among those clubs reportedly showing an interest.

PL latest: Tanguy is off

Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has completed a loan move to Lyon for the remainder of the season.

Lyon confirmed they have paid a fee of 1.42million euros to finalise the deal, which includes an option to make the move permanent.

Ndombele is Tottenham’s club-record signing but has struggled to make a lasting impact in north London.

Just a couple of hours after confirming Frank Lampard as their new manager Everton are trying to finalise late deals for Manchester United midfielder Donny Van De Beek and Tottenham’s Dele Alli.

Holland international Van De Beek’s loan move is understood to be well advanced, with talks having begun over the weekend when it became apparent Lampard was set to take over.

Alli, who has become a peripheral figure at Spurs, is a late development but it is understood it is complicated by the fact Everton have to complete a permanent deal.

They have no spare loans available as Van De Beek will join fellow Dutchman Anwar El Ghazi, an arrival from Aston Villa while Rafael Benitez was still manager, in signing up for a temporary spell at Goodison Park.
