Clement Lenglet reveals who he had conversations with before joining Tottenham from Barcelona

Clement Lenglet has revealed that he asked Hugo Lloris "a lot of questions" before joining Tottenham on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona. Giving Spurs some much-needed competition in the backline, the 27-year-old has made a total of 12 appearances in all competitions since his switch.

Impressing on the left of defence and also in the central role he has taken on in the past three games, Lenglet's versatility has proved very handy to Antonio Conte this season and he is someone the club could potentially look to sign permanently next summer if he continues to impress. Opening up on his move to Tottenham and his start to life in the capital, Lenglet has admitted that he is in a good place to grow "as both a man and a player".

"It's been good. It's a new club and new country. Everything has been new for me because the language is completely different from Spanish and French, but I am adapting," said the Frenchman in the club's official matchday programme.
