Tottenham Aims to Secure Loan Deal for ‘Excellent’ £12.9m Barcelona Player Eager to Join

There are speculations that Tottenham Hotspur could potentially secure a loan deal for Barcelona’s defender, Clement Lenglet this summer.

Further insights regarding the future of the French international from the Spanish news source, Sport, are available.

It’s necessary for Tottenham to move quickly to recruit at least one defender before the new season commences.

With the Premier League kick-off less than two weeks away, it is clear to Ange Postecoglou that the team needs a fresh center-back this summer.

The defense of Tottenham has been a persistent issue, and the last season shed more light on the need for significant improvements.

Last season, Tottenham conceded more goals than any other team in the top half of the premier league.

Despite Antonio Conte’s notable skills in defensive coaching, he couldn’t squeeze the best out of Tottenham’s squad.

Clement Lenglet, however, made a remarkable impression on him last season, and now the Frenchman might mark his return to the club.

There’s a possibility that Tottenham might secure Lenglet on loan this summer, with a commitment to buy later.

Although the ‘superb’ defender is open to the offer, there’s doubt over whether he’s the suitable player for Postecoglou and Tottenham at present.

Lenglet could be signed on a loan by Tottenham

Sport reports that negotiations between Barcelona and Tottenham are inching towards a deal.

Barcelona values Lenglet at £12.9m, but Spurs may opt to sign him on loan first, and then commit to buying him later.

This plan would offer Tottenham the chance to negotiate a more favorable transfer fee, while Barcelona targets to lower its wage expenses.

The intend of both clubs is to seal the deal before their friendly match on August 8th.

Sport also reports that Lenglet’s preference is geared towards continuing to play for Tottenham in the coming season, a decision that should smooth out negotiations over personal terms.

While securing Lenglet on loan might pose some risks for the club, it also presents an opportunity for Tottenham to reinforce its defense without a huge financial commitment.

Alongside Lenglet, Tottenham is also considering other players such as Edmond Tapsoba and Micky Van de Ven, who are more likely to be consistent starters.

If Joe Rodon and Davinson Sanchez eventually leave, Tottenham will require further cover.

Lenglet could be the answer to that, having already forged vital connections with his potential new teammates.
