Tanguy Ndombele's rare feat, Reguilon returns, Djed Spence and Scarlett frustration but Gil joy

Tottenham might be a chaotic mess but some of their loan players are looking to finish the season in style at other clubs.

Spurs have got 11 first team squad players away from the nest and out playing on loan at sides across England, France, Italy and Spain until the end of the campaign and all of them have enjoyed varying degrees of game time and success during the highs and lows of a campaign away from the north London outfit this season.

Here's how all of those Tottenham players got on during the course of the past seven days.

Tanguy Ndombele (Napoli)

Tanguy Ndombele enjoyed rare back-to-back starts having seen out his one-match suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season two weeks ago.

First the Frenchman played 63 minutes in Napoli's 1-1 draw with AC Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, a result that put the latter through after their 1-0 first leg advantage.

Ndombele did enough to keep his place though and was handed 68 minutes - his first league start since November- in Napoli's crunch match away at Juventus. Giacomo Raspadori netted a dramatic 93rd minute winner that puts Napoli to within touching distance of the Serie A title.

Ndombele's side are now 17 points clear of second-placed Lazio with seven matches to play in the league. The 26-year-old has now totalled 1,1917 minutes of football for the Italian side this season.

Destiny Udogie (Udinese)

Destiny Udogie got another 90 minutes to his name in the 3-0 victory against Cremonese on Sunday.

The 20-year-old wing-back received a 7.26 in Whoscored's player ratings for the match. In attack, the Italy U21 international had two shots at goal, one on target and two of his three long balls reached their man. At the other end of the pitch he made three tackles and two interceptions in a solid display.

Udogie has made 28 appearances this season for the Serie A side, scoring three goals and laying on three assists and looks set to arrive at a Tottenham without most, if not all, of the Italians that were there when he signed last summer.

Harry Winks (Sampdoria)

For the second week in a row Harry Winks and Sampdoria picked up another point in a relegation crunch match in Serie A that they really needed to win.

It was the first time in 13 games that the 27-year-old midfielder has not completed the match as he went off with 11 minutes remaining and the score at 1-1 against 17th-placed Spezia as the hosts chased the winning goal they desperately needed but never came.

Financially-stricken Sampdoria sit bottom of the Serie A table and are 10 points from safety with seven matches to go.

Winks has now made 14 league appearances for them in the second half of the campaign since recovering from ankle surgery, becoming a lynchpin in the midfield.

Djed Spence and Joe Rodon (Rennes)

The return of Rennes captain Hamari Traore from injury has resulted in three consecutive matches left unused on the bench for Djed Spence.

The 22-year-old had to sit and watch on as Rennes lost 1-0 at Montpellier, who had a man sent off after 53 minutes, on Sunday, as his run of nine consecutive starts following his loan move in January now feels like a lifetime ago.

Joe Rodon was back on the bench after being left out entirely of the past two matchday squads, but like Spence he was another loan player not used against Montpellier.

Giovani Lo Celso (Villarreal)

Lo Celso continues to rack up the starts after his return to full fitness but despite his 82 minutes of game time, Villarreal lost 2-1 at Bryan Gil's Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday.

The Argentine was however named as Whoscored's star man for his side with a 7.6 rating with three key passes and two shots as well as two tackles at the other end.

Lo Celso has provided back to back assists in the past two matches, but was unable to change the course of this match. He will be happy to be playing regularly again though after the serious injury that stopped him participating in Argentina's successful World Cup campaign.

The 27-year-old has now played 22 matches for Villarreal this season, contributing two assists and one goal.

Bryan Gil (Sevilla)

Bryan Gil had a week to remember. First he came on for the final 10 minutes as Sevilla tore apart Manchester United 3-0 in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

The 22-year-old then started and got 58 minutes under his belt in the 2-1 home win in La Liga on Sunday. Gil was the most accurate starter on the pitch with his passing with a 93.3% accuracy from his 15 attempts.

The young Spaniard, who earned a call-up back into the senior Spain squad last month, has played 15 times for Sevilla since joining in January and has registered one goal and two assists.

Sergio Reguilon (Atletico Madrid)

Reguilon finally made his return to the pitch for his first minutes in La Liga since January. He came on for the final 11 minutes in Atletico's 1-0 defeat at Barcelona on Sunday, following his return to full fitness from a thigh issue suffered in training. The left-back was initially ruled out for a month with the injury in late February but ended up missing double that amount of time.

Reguilon has not started a single La Liga match this season, having had injury problems and a stomach issue at one point that saw him hospitalised. Reguilon has played just 95 minutes in the competition this season across four matches.

Troy Parrott (Preston North End)

Troy Parrott has had a busy week in the Championship for Preston. In midweek he came off the bench for 21 minutes and scored as they lost 4-2 Swansea.

He was back in the starting line-up and played 90 minutes as Preston grabbed a late goal to draw 1-1 at home against Blackburn. Preston lie in 10th but only two points off sixth-placed Sunderland who hold the final play-off spot with two games to go. It's so tight that Swansea in 12th could yet get into the play-offs.

The 21-year-old was handed a six in the Lancashire Live player ratings with the review: "Never gave the Rovers back line a moment of peace and had moments. Was just waiting for that golden opening, which never came."

Parrott has got plenty of minutes this season around the knee injury he suffered before the World Cup break but the young striker will want to increase his goal output with just four goals from 32 matches this season.

Dane Scarlett (Portsmouth)

Dane Scarlett was an unused substitute in both of Portsmouth's League One matches this week, the 1-1 draw at Oxford United in midweek and then the 1-0 home victory against Accrington on Saturday.

Scarlett has scored six goals and registered two assists in 40 games this season but the 19-year-old has found himself a bit part player since the change in manager at the club with John Mousinho using him sparingly compared to Danny Cowley.

Harvey White (Derby)

Harvey White got a single minute of normal time to his name as he came on at the end of Derby's 1-0 win against Burton Albion on Saturday. The 21-year-old midfielder had been an unused substitute in the midweek 2-1 victory at Exeter City in League One.

White has made 13 appearances for Derby since arriving in the January transfer window.
