Lyon confirmed that the initial fee will be 60 million euros with 10 million euros more in add-ons.Tottenham’s previous record deal was the £42 million ($53 million) they spent on defender Davinson Sanchez in 2017. Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has challenged the club to match his ambition after reaching the Champions League final for the first time. Ndombele, 22, starred as Lyon reached the last 16 of the Champions League last season and finished third in Ligue 1. The fee represents a massive profit for the French side, who bought Ndombele from Amiens for only eight million euros 12 months ago after a successful season on loan at Lyon. Ndombele made 96 appearances in total for Lyon, scoring four goals and providing 16 assists, and has been capped six times by world champions France.
