SHEFFIELD (Reuters) - Tanguy Ndombele's transformation from expensive midfield misfit to a player beginning to look worth the 55 million pounds Tottenham Hotspur paid to sign him from Lyon in July 2019 was encapsulated in one magical moment on Sunday.

The 24-year-old conjured a magnificently-improvised lob with his back to goal to score Tottenham's third goal in a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United -- only his fifth league goal for the club in a difficult year and a half.

There seemed no future for the club's most expensive signing last March when he was hauled off at halftime at Burnley, after which Mourinho singled him out for criticism, explaining that with him on the pitch he had"no midfield". On Sunday Mourinho was full of praise for the France international who has already started more league games this season than he did in the whole of the last campaign.

"The door of the team is always open, and when a player is not playing he has to try to understand why and he has to try to understand how can he walk through that door.
