Tottenham Hotspur could be closing in on a permanent move for Clement Lenglet after an update on his Barcelona future.
The centre-back was signed on loan last season, making 35 appearances in all competitions. However, Spurs decided against immediately activating their buy option for the 28-year-old as the club looked to arrange a cut-price deal with Barcelona due to the Catalan giants’ well-documented financial issues.
Speaking about his club’s hopes of Lenglet sealing a deal with Spurs, Barcelona president Joan Laporta said, earlier this month: "I think that with Tottenham we will reach an agreement for Lenglet. This almost never goes fast. It depends on the other party."
