Ndombele and Sanchez become the 11th and 12th player to leave the club this summer, with Sanchez only the third player to leave permanently (Harry Winks, Harry Kane). Ndombele’s loan (maybe? hopefully?) brings to an end one of the most disappointing tenures of any player in modern Tottenham history. Sanchez was a player who fell out of favor with a couple of Spurs managers after joining during the Mauricio Pochettino years, but who seemed to find his place under Ange Postecoglou before today’s departure.
The moves leaves Spurs perilously thin defensively with only Ben Davies, Eric Dier, and 18-year old Ashley Phillips available for cover, but with fewer matches to play and hence hopefully less need for rotation, assuming Cuti Romero and Micky van de Ven stay healthy and fit.
