Clement Lenglet has told football.london that this was his moment to join Tottenham Hotspur rather than last summer and suggested talk over a permanent move could come later if he succeeds in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old signed on loan from Barcelona last month, just missing out on the chance to travel on Spurs' tour to South Korea as he arrived after the deadline for a visa to play in the country. He remained at Hotspur Way, working hard on his fitness and then took a part in the later friendlies against Rangers and Roma with positive contributions from the bench.
This was not the first time Spurs had attempted to sign Lenglet as football.london reported earlier this summer that the club's managing director Fabio Paratici tried to bring in the experienced France international on loan a year previously but the player turned down the chance of a move to north London at that point.
