The talented midfielder – who has already been capped four times for France – has been a standout performer in Ligue 1 this term.
And, according to Sky Sports, the Premier League trio are tracking his availably closely.
It’s suggested Spurs have been on his trail since the summer.
But despite the north Londoners’ eagerness to secure his services it’s suggested he prefers to stay at Lyon for now.
NDombele wants his side to progress in the Champions League and is reluctant to abandon them half way through the campaign.
The 21-year-old is a holding midfielder and Mauricio Pochettino views him as a long-term heir to Moussa Dembele.
Manchester City are similarly keen to find a successor to Fernandinho.
However, the Brazilian is still firmly established as Pep Guardiola’s preferred defensive option in the City engine room.
Pochettino didn’t make a single signing for Spurs over the summer.
It was the first time a team hadn’t made any acquisitions since the transfer window was first introduced in 2003.
The Argentine is expected to bolster his ranks in the New Year but club legend Micky Hazard insists he won’t panic buy.
“He’s got a tremendous squad,” said Hazard who won the UEFA Cup with Tottenham in 1984.
“What I would say about Pochettino is that he won’t sign footballers that don’t make us better.
“My motto is don’t sign players to sit on your bench. They can gradually bring the standard down.
“Sign players that will get a place in the 1st XI that will then relegate the current 1st XI player to the bench.
“That naturally then makes the squad a lot stronger.
“What I love about Pochettino is he doesn’t rush in.
“If he can’t find his target – or get them – then he won’t rush in and buy stupidly.
“He will wait until he gets his target and I love that about the guy.
“I’m a great believer in not signing players for the sake of it. They need to be right.”
Despite Spurs’ lack of activity in the transfer market, Pochettino’s men appear to be hitting top gear.
They are third in the Premier League with 17 games played.
