As Tottenham continue to try and navigate through what has been a trying January transfer window for the club, they are set to send several players out on loan before the deadline.
At one point, it looked as though Tanguy Ndombele, who last played for Antonio Conte as he was booed off in the FA Cup against Morecambe, was heading for Paris Saint Germain and a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino.

This move, however, has since fallen through, and instead it is a reunion with former side Lyon that appears to beckon for the Frenchman, who joined Tottenham from the Ligue 1 outfit in 2019 for a club record fee.

Bryan Gil latest
A perhaps more surprising departure could be that of Bryan Gil, who is set to leave the club on loan for Spanish club Valencia, just 6 months after joining Spurs.

The Spaniard has come across a little lightweight in the English top-flight but nonetheless has shown glimpses of his vast technical ability even in limited gametime under two managers. With Gil seemingly not having a role in an Antonio Conte system, you have to wonder about his future in north London already.
