EXCELLENT’ £13M PLAYER SIGNS THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH TOTTENHAM

Barcelona want rid of Lenglet’s wages and another loan move to Tottenham – this time with an option to buy – hasn’t been ruled out.

It’s stated that Lenglet does have a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Tottenham and he’s very interested in staying.

Spurs allegedly value Lenglet’s professionalism but there is still no agreement with Barcelona despite discussing the deal during the Joan Gamper Trophy game between the two clubs this week.

The La Liga side are seeking around €15million (£13million) for Lenglet, a fee Tottenham have absolutely no plans to pay.

Lenglet’s huge wages mean that Tottenham are seeking a very cheap deal and that is causing the hold-up.

It’s even stated that Barcelona are now offering Lenglet to other clubs such as AC Milan and Juventus.

Tottenham could see Lenglet go elsewhere, or maybe Barcelona are just trying to tempt Tottenham into making a firm move now.

Tosin Adarabioyo situation may tempt Tottenham back to Clement Lenglet

Tottenham have signed one centre back this week with Micky van de Ven arriving from Wolfsburg.

Ange Postecoglou still wants one more though with Joe Rodon, Davinson Sanchez and Japhet Tanganga all available.

Lenglet – hailed as ‘excellent’ by Cristian Romero – could be the man for Tottenham but wasn’t exactly impressive last season.

The Frenchman spent the campaign on loan at Tottenham and didn’t exactly pull up any trees.

Going back in for Lenglet feels a little like the easy option for Tottenham rather than somebody who is really elevating Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

Maybe Lenglet is seen as an alternative to Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo.

Foot Mercato claim that, whilst Tottenham want Adarabioyo, he prefers a move to Monaco this summer.

That may leave Tottenham pivoting to other defensive targets who won’t break the bank, such as Lenglet.
