Inside track on Clement Lenglet as new Tottenham man must improve to succeed under Antonio Conte

Clement Lenglet became Tottenham's fifth new addition last week, signing from Barcelona on a season-long loan. Unfortunately, the French international was one of a number of players who didn't make the trip to South Korea, with his new squad on their pre-season tour.

Lenglet wasn't able to get a visa in time, so instead will be working hard at Hotspur Way. The 27-year-old will wait for Antonio Conte and his new team to arrive back to N17, where he will then have to settle into his new life, ahead of playing in the Premier League.

The defender will be mostly competing with Ben Davies, for his spot in Conte's starting XI and will have to work hard to replace the Welsh international, who had a solid last season. Ahead of Lenglet linking up with his new team, football.london has spoken to sports journalist who covers Barcelona, Alex Truica, to find out what Spurs will be getting from their new man.
