Tottenham released a statement last month to confirm Tanguy Ndombele had left the club.
Former Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has quickly moved on, joining French side OGC Nice. The 27-year-old was a free agent after Tottenham agreed to terminate his contract a year early.
The Spurs statement read: "The club can confirm the departure of Tanguy Ndombele following the mutual termination of his contract, effective from 30 June, upon the conclusion of his current loan spell.

“Signed from Olympique Lyonnais in July 2019, the midfielder scored on his debut against Aston Villa and went on to make 91 appearances for us in all competitions, scoring 10 goals. During his time here, Tanguy had loan spells back at Lyon, Napoli and with Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray last season. We should like to wish Tanguy all the best for the future."
Ndombele aims to rediscover his form from his time at Lyon, which led Tottenham to make him their club-record signing in 2019 for £53.8million. Before joining Tottenham, he turned down interest from PSG and Liverpool to move to north London but struggled under Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio conte. A new start back home could be the best thing for him as he looks to get back to playing regularly and getting back to the France team.
Tottenham's New Direction
Spurs have also moved on, having raided Leeds United for one of their most important players, Archie Gray, in a £30 million move. He has signed a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2030, with defender Joe Rodon going in the opposite direction.
Timo Werner, who scored two goals in 13 appearances, has convinced Ange Postecoglou to keep him on loan for another season. Young Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall will also join for pre-season, even though he was signed in January.
