The Spurs midfielder has struggled to settle in North London since arriving from the Ligue 1 side for a club record fee of £55m in the summer of 2019.
And he has fallen even further out of favour since Antonio Conte took over as manager at the club back in November.
He has started just one out of 13 Premier League games since the Italian succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo.
Now he will look to revive his career back in his native France as he bids to re-discover the form he showed before the move to Spurs.
And if the option to buy is taken up then the Lilywhites could end up recouping almost all the money they paid for him.
Ndombele was sensational for Lyon, producing a run of form which earned him the move to Tottenham.

His performances even led to him being included in the 2018-19 Champions League team of the season.
At international level, Ndombele has also been capped seven times by World Cup winners France.
Lyon currently sit 11th in France's top tier following a dreadful start to the campaign.
