Tottenham are reportedly close to agreeing the exits of Tanguy Ndombele and Davinson Sanchez. But the departure of the latter could hurt Ange Postecoglou if he suffers defensive injuries between now and January.

Ndombele hasn't featured at all for Tottenham since returning from his loan spell at Napoli in the summer. The Frenchman didn't feature in any of the pre-season friendlies and has not been in a match-day squad so far in the new campaign.

Sanchez has entered the final year of his contract and has been linked with an exit throughout the summer. The Colombia international has made two outings under Postecoglou, coming on as a substitute on the opening day against Brentford before playing the entirety of the Carabap Cup loss to Fulham.

Sanchez missed the only penalty in the shootout defeat at Craven Cottage. That is now set to be his final kick of a ball in a Tottenham shirt.

The Evening Standard reports that both Sanchez and Ndombele are set for moves to Turkish giants Galatasaray. An agreement is already said to be in place for Ndombele to join Galatasaray on a season-long loan.

There will be an option to buy the 26-year-old at the end of the campaign. The report claims Ndombele will arrive in Istanbul on Monday to complete his move after undergoing the first part of his medical in London.

A deal for Sanchez is yet to be finalised but an agreement is likely to be reached at around £12.8m for him to make a permanent move to Turkey. It is claimed that Galatasaray must complete both signings by 11pm UK time on Monday in order for them to be included in their Champions League squad.
