Tottenham are getting closer to completing the signing of Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet on a season-long loan, talkSPORT understands. Talks between the two clubs are progressing but Lenglet is still to undergo his medical. getty Lenglet looks set for a move to north London for the 2022/23 season The French defender has made 160 appearances for Barca since joining them from Sevilla in 2018. The then-23-year-old joined the Spanish giants in a €35million (around £30m) deal, having impressed in La Liga for his former club. The centre-back has also made 15 caps for France and will be hoping to break back into the national team with regular game time in north London. Lenglet made just seven starts for Barcelona last season, as they finished second in the Spanish top-flight – 13 points behind rivals Real Madrid. He has won one La Liga title during his time in Spain, and he’ll be hoping for a Premier League trophy to add to his trophy cabinet when he joins Spurs.

Tottenham agree loan deal with Barca for Clement Lenglet
The two impending transfers that Tottenham Hotspur fans have been waiting on have been for Middlesbrough wingback Djed Spence and Barcelona LCB Clement Lenglet. Now it looks like we finally have moment on one of them. This morning, Fabrizio Romano posted the most positive news we’ve had in a few days, reporting that Spurs and Barca have agreed a one year loan deal for the French international defender. The purchase option has been one of the sticking points in this deal getting across the line, and the rumors have been all over the place. There was once a (poorly sourced, likely misunderstood) report suggesting the option could be as low as €5m, and yesterday there was talk it could be as high as €20m. Now, if Fabrizio’s correct, there may not be an option at all and this would be a straight loan. That’d be kinda weird, especially if Barcelona are as down on Lenglet as everyone seems to think they are, so maybe the lack of an option is due to Tottenham’s influence and not Barca’s.
