Tanguy Ndombele Alvaro (born 28 December 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Nice.
Ndombele finished his youth career at Guingamp but was not offered a professional contract. He signed for Ligue 2 side Amiens, playing for the reserves until becoming a first-team regular in the 2015-16 season.
Ahead of the 2016–17 season, he moved to Lyon as part of a loan deal. Ndombele was critical in the team's success and third-place finish that allowed the team's return to the UEFA Champions League. After another season at the club, Ndombele earned a move to Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a deal worth £62 million.
At Tottenham, Ndombele's first seasons were unsuccessful, which saw him getting criticized for his work rate and dropped from the squad in 2021. Ndombele then went on several loan deals. He won the Scudetto with Napoli and the Süper Lig with Galatasaray before signing for Nice permanently in 2024.
