Graham Roberts has stated on Twitter that Tanguy Ndombele can be a brilliant player for Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Tottenham star made the comments in response to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher giving his take on Sky Sports on Jose Mourinho’s recent criticism of the France international midfielder.

Mourinho was not impressed with the performance of the 23-year-old in the first half of the Premier League game against Burnley at the weekend.

The Frenchman did not come on for the second half, with Mourinho strongly criticising him in his post-match comments, as quoted in The London Evening Standard.

Roberts believes that despite Ndombele’s current struggles at Spurs, he can be a big player for the North London outfit.

Totally agree with every word there Jamie!
