The signing of the club record has already made a good impression in a Spurs jersey and has now secured the approval of his new captain.
Harry Kane said new rookie Tanguy Ndombele was to be the final piece of the Tottenham puzzle, as the club tried to fight for the Premier League title.
The French international joined the Lyon club earlier this month on a record deal of £ 63 million, surpbading the $ 42 million spent on Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez d'Ajax in August 2017.
Ndombele made her Spurs debut as a second-half substitute in Sunday's international champions cup clash against Italian champions Juventus in Singapore and had an immediate impact.

Less than 60 seconds after arriving on the pitch, Ndombele put Lucas Moura to a 2-2 draw before Kane scored a spectacular goal close to the midway line in stoppage time to seal the win.
The English captain was impressed by Ndombele's first performance and is thinking of bringing something to the team that has missed them in recent seasons as they try to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the title.
"He was great, he caught the ball very well and pbaded it on to Lucas, which is one of his strengths: to play that ball deep, that pbad forward," he said. Kane told reporters.
"It's something we've missed for about a year, that decisive pbad in the last third – he seems to be able to do it.With any player who comes in, he always learns how we play and what what the manager wants to play, but he works hard, that's all we can ask for. "
In addition to signing their record, Ndombele was Tottenham's first signing since January 2018, when Moura joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Kane admits that the mere presence of a new player has given the team fresh momentum as it prepares for the new campaign.
"It's always nice to have a new face, new energy, new sensations and it's a fantastic player who can only help us," added the 25-year-old. "We are building a good team with good depth.These games are great for fitness and the integration of young players into the team." Up here, everything is fine.
The next Tottenham friendly will take place on Thursday against Manchester United, also in the International Champion's Cup at Hongkou Stadium in Shanghai.
