Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has revisited is summer move from Olympique Lyon.
After two years with Lyon, Ndombele moved to Tottenham earlier this year. He had been on-loan with Lyon from Amiens for the first of his two seasons with OL before signing permanently almost 18 months ago for a fee rising to the region of €11m.
And after a year as a fulltime Lyon player, Ndombele was on the move again - this time to London and Tottenham. The France international was signed by Spurs for a massive €62m fee, with a further €10m due in bonuses.
Despite the huge money involved, Ndombele says it takes it all with a pinch of salt.
Ndombele told Foot Mercato via Le 10 Sport: "It did not bother me too much. It's like that, it's the football world. Between negotiations and offers, there is a world, which many people do not know.
"But for me, this period was not complicated to manage. The €60m for my transfer? I do not care about it. Money, it's not me who paid it."
Indeed, the midfielder - who is now working under his second manager in a matter of months at Tottenham after Jose Mourinho's arrival for the sacked Mauricio Pochettino - says he was happy to not get involved in the auction when Spurs came knocking.
"I heard everything about the price. Sixty, sixty-two, seventy ... I do not care about all these things. But I do not have too much pressure from my price."
