(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo said it is "not his job to convince" players to play for the Premier League club, after media reported that record signing Tanguy Ndombele wants to leave.

British media reported that Ndombele, who joined Tottenham from Olympique Lyonnais for a club record 54 million pounds ($74 million) in July 2019, wants to leave after failing to impress, having scored eight goals in 75 games in all competitions.
