Spurs news: Lloris goes home, Ndombele's grand plans, Gareth Bale question, Alderweireld latest

Could Gareth Bale return to Spurs? How is Tanguy Ndombele settling in?

These are the big questions for Tottenham fans at the moment, not to mention which signings the club will make next.

There is plenty to discuss when it comes to Spurs ahead of the new camapign.

Here we round up the biggest and best stories from the last 24 hours.

Lloris returns home

Hugo Lloris has returned to London.

The France goalkeeper went out with the squad to the Far East, but played no part in the first International Champions Cup game against Juventus on Sunday.

And now the Spurs skipper has been sent hom.

Here's why.

Ndombele's plans

Tanguy Ndombele was tracked by all of Europe's top clubs, including Juventus, Manchester City and PSG, but in the end it was Tottenham who managed to get the big money deal over the line to deliver a player who was Mauricio Pochettino's top target this summer.

He showed exactly why the Spurs boss wanted him on his debut against Juventus in the International Champions Cup match in Singapore on Sunday.

He set up Lucas Moura for an equaliser, before almost scoring himself, further endearing himself top the Spurs fans as if he needed to.

And in an interview with football.london , Ndombele has outlined his plans for the season with Spurs and why he joined the north Londoners.

The Bale question

Mauricio Pochettino was asked whether or not Tottenham were making a move for Gareth Bale on Sunday.

And what he said was more than a little interesting.

"I saw in the media [Zidane's insistence that Bale was on the way out of Madrid] but I do not know which club is working to try to sign him," he said ambiguously.

"At the moment I do not have any information from my chairman. I don’t know if it is us or another club. It is not my job. It is the job of my chairman who is trying to build the best possible squad."

It was not a straight answer, which posed more questions than answers in all honesty.

Alasdair Gold took a look at the Bale dilemma.

Alderweireld latest

Toby Alderweireld is expecting to be at Tottenham this season.

He has already said that earlier in the summer, but reiterated his stance following the win over Juventus.

Alderweireld was handed the captain's armband by Mauricio Pochettino for that match, and the fans felt that was a hint that he was going to be staying put.

But one pundit think he should move on, or more pertinently that another team should be maknig a move for him.
