Ndombele trains on trial with Rubin Kazan

French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has joined trial training sessions with Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan. The experienced player has not found a new team since the summer transfer window.

Ndombele, who has worn the shirts of Tottenham, Napoli, Olympique Lyon and Galatasaray during his career, will find out after Rubin Kazan's evaluation whether he will be part of their plans for the new season.

If the two sides agree a deal, it would be a notable development for Ndombele. He could become the first French international to transfer to the Russian league since the war between Russia and Ukraine began.

No official statement has yet come from either side about the outcome of the trial or the possible terms of a contract.
