Tottenham handed major Clement Lenglet transfer boost as Antonio Conte closes on fifth signing

Clement Lenglet looks as though he could become Tottenham's fifth signing of the summer. Antonio Conte has already welcomed Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison to N17 and Spurs are still on the lookout to continue strengthening the Italian's squad.

The Lilywhites have already made one defensive signing, but the French international could become the second. Lenglet made 20 La Liga and four Champions League appearances for Barcelona last season, playing as both a centre-back and left-back.

This makes the 27-year-old a perfect fit to slot in on the left side of Conte's back three, providing more squad depth and competition for Ben Davies. Lenglet hasn't been top of Tottenham's wishlist the whole window, with the likes of Alessandro Bastoni and Josko Gvardiol seemingly ahead.
