Scouting Report & Player Insights
Tanguy Ndombele is a technically gifted central/attacking midfielder now with Nice in Ligue 1, prized for his close control, low centre of gravity, and ability to glide past pressure in tight areas.

At his best he combines strength on the ball with sharp vision to break lines, though work rate and defensive discipline have often been points of criticism.
