Chelsea in three-horse race with both Manchester clubs for top Lyon star
by Patrick James
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola have enjoyed an unstoppable march to victories in England, but it seems they have their work cut out this time in their chase for Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The youngster is one of the hottest properties in the Lyon setup and his showings since last season have caught the eye of Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Maurizio Sarri.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Chelsea will throw themselves into the pursuit of the central midfielder who is highly regarded by Lyon and is currently valued at £55 million by the Ligue 1 outfit.
It was only last summer that his deal was made permanent after the temporary recruitment from Amiens. However, his early performances alerted a host of top clubs to him and Tottenham Hotspur were said to have tabled a bid of £40m for his signature last summer, only to be rejected of course.
Ndombele has started all of Lyon’s French Ligue 1 games this season, grabbing four assists.
