After starring with Lyon for the last two seasons in the French league, Tanguy Ndombele emerged as one of the most sought-after midfielders in all of Europe.

Virtually every top side on the continent were reportedly interested in his services including Real Madrid and Manchester United, but ultimately it was Premier League side Tottenham who won the race for his signature, shelling out £61m to make him their most expensive player ever.

His unofficial debut was highly anticipated, but fans had to wait as the French international started the match on the bench, finally taking to the field after 63 minutes in place of Eric Lamela.

It took the 22-year-old just two minutes to make a mark on the game, as his first touch in a Spurs shirt was a delightful reverse pass which played Lucas Moura in for the Brazilian to finish with aplomb.

A few minutes later, he almost put Spurs ahead, as his curling shot from 25 yards out breezed just inches wide.

All in all, it was an impressive debut cameo for Ndombele and Tottenham fans would have been delighted by what they saw.
