The club is now considering terminating his contract early to free up funds for other signings.

Fotospor meanwhile, claim Ndombele arrived 6 kg overweight and had a 20 percent body fat ratio.

The report go onto claim that he now has the nickname ‘fatso Ndom’. The club have recruited dietetians and got the training staff to try and get him into shape but the results have been unsatisfactory.

Ndombele weighs 82kg but Galatasaray want to get him down to 76 kg and reduce his body fat to 16 percent. The midfielder now weighs 80kg and his body fat has dropped to 20 percent.

Ndombele was signed by Galatasaray with great hope but he has struggled to perform for the club.

He has only appeared in 7 matches this season and has failed to score or provide an assist.

He still has until the end of the year to turn his season around, get into shape and break into the team but if he does not improve Ndombele could find himself return to the North London sooner than expected.
