Clement Lenglet has become Tottenham's fifth signing of the summer transfer window as he has joined on a season-long loan from Barcelona. The 27-year-old follows Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster in signing for Antonio Conte's side. Lenglet made 160 appearances after joining Barca in 2018 but only started seven games in La Liga last season.
Tottenham have continued their busy summer with the signing of defender Clement Lenglet from Barcelona.
Lenglet, 27, joins on a one-year loan and is Spurs’ fifth arrival of the transfer window after Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster.
Spurs have an option to buy Lenglet on a permanent deal after the loan.
Lenglet joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2018 and made 160 appearances in all competitions.
However, he started just seven La Liga matches last season and was largely used as a substitute by head coach Xavi.
Lenglet will be hoping the move to Spurs gives him regular playing time to secure a place in France’s squad for the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Spurs are also reportedly looking to sign Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence.
