FORGOTTEN Tottenham star Tanguy Ndombele may see his loan contract at Galatasaray be ripped up after a row with the manager.

After a sluggish start in Turkey, Ndombele, 26, got into a late-night bust-up with Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk.
Buruk is already furious with the Spurs loanee, who is the club’s record £63million signing over his 6kg weight gain.
Turkish outlets Fotospor and Kamu Son Haber reported, that Ndombele indulged in junk food at his house and ordered a burger to his hotel room following the 3-1 defeat to the German champions.
The reports claim the midfielder has been following a dietary programme at the club.
But the Galatasaray chief will not pick Ndombele until he drops his weight to 75kg.
The midfielder who signed to the Super Lig side after a struggling start to life in North London, was left out of the Galatasaray squad for Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Rizespor due to his weight gain.
But other publications have claimed his absence was due to him carrying a minor injury.
Buruk is said to be enraged with Ndombele for his fast food indulgence and the club is considering terminating his loan deal.

Galatasary had the option to buy the French international for £13.1million.
But with having played just 93 minutes since his arrival to the Turkish capital – there has been speculation his time at the club could come to an end in January.
This is not great for Spurs who are now back to square one in looking for an exit route for the midfielder.
His fitness had been of concern prior to his move to Galatasaray as Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou confirmed in the summer.
He told Football.London: “The way we play there’s a bit that I need to be strong on and that is that you’ve got to be at a certain physical level to play this kind of football”.
The Aussie and Buruk are not the first to spot Ndombele’s weight problems as ex-Spurs manager Jose Mourinho publically called him out.
While ex-Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit in 2020 slammed the midfielder and claimed he was overweight.
In contrast, Ndombele’s former Spurs team-mate Davinson Sanchez, who joined Galatasaray on a permanent deal in the summer has been a regular starter in their defence.
