Dele, Ndombele and Lo Celso: How the five players who left Tottenham in the winter are faring

Antonio Conte made some significant changes to Tottenham in the winter transfer window shipping out Dele Alli and Tanguy Ndombele and bringing in two Juventus stars.

With spring and the international break now upon us, LondonWorld has delved into how all the players who left, either permanently or on-loan, are doing.

The LillyWhites have recently shown signs of improvement and based on the evidence of strong performance against Brighton and West Ham, it will be interesting to see how they re-start again against Newcastle and Villa in the coming days.

But a number of the players who left have been going about their business, some trying to find a new home and other trying to prove a point.

So here is how they have performed in their first three months away from N17.

Tanguy Ndombele

Ndombele’s time at Tottenham was hard to watch for a number of reasons, but key amongst them was the fact that there was enormous talent yet a combination of factors made it just hard for him to find consistency.

Mauricio Pochettino’s exit and the appointment of Jose Mourinho might not have helped his adaptation, but his body language and general application made a fan base who were at first excited at the signing eventually boo him off the pitch.

A loan deal back to Lyon was ideal for all parties, but he’s not really been pulling any trees up in France.

His performances have been slightly improved but that could be because he’s back in Ligue 1, which is a slower pace to the Premier League.

He still walks around a lot during games, and Conte is unlikely to view this and think he made the wrong call in shipping him on.

In five league games, Ndombele has four starts, 88.4 % passing accuracy, 6.9 average match ratings and one assist to to go with it all.

He has played twice in the Europa League with no goal and no assists there. Early days yet, but there have been rumours that Lyon might not want to make the deal a permanent one.

Dele Alli

Everton are having to fight for their Premier League survival and despite more than half of the team struggling with form and consistency, Dele Alli can’t get a start in the team.

It shows you how much he is struggling, he’s played six times for the Toffees in the Premier League and his most noteworthy moment was coming on a substitute in a 5-0 loss to Tottenham.

This week there have been reports that Everton are trying to cut their losses because there are performance and appearance clauses that mean they will have to pay more money to Spurs the more Alli plays, despite his uninspiring form.

Alli has six games for Frank Lampard’s side, 78.9% passing accuracy, and an average match rating of 6.5 player with no goals or assists. Not been the best of start to life in Liverpool for the former Spurs hero.

Bryan Gil

The diminutive Spanish winger’s time at Tottenham was brief, but he is only out on loan and given he has been impressive you’d not bet against him forcing a re-think from the Spurs technical team.

The 21-year-old is up there with the best performing Tottenham players out on loan, and Spanish reporters say Valencia are leaning towards keeping him.

That would be very unfortunate given every time he played for Tottenham, he always tried to make something happen.

He has played seven times with Valencia and has a 75% passing accuracy, 6.5 average player rating and one assist to show for his time away from North London.

Giovani Lo Celso

Lo Celso is back to playing in the Champions League and his Villarreal side are still alive in the competition, taking on Bayern Munich in the next round.

He is not doing badly in La Liga with seven outings since leaving Spurs and an impressive 7.1 average match rating.

He still hasn’t scored or assisted but is playing regularly in a winning team.

Jack Clarke

Clarke has been smashing it at Sunderland since joining the League One side in the January transfer window.

He has made 11 appearances with one goal, one assist and an average player rating of 6.7.

One for the future who Lillywhite fans should keep an eye out for.
