Tottenham transfer news: Barcelona's Lenglet 'agrees terms' as Bergwijn 'snubs' Man Utd

Tottenham are already having a bumper transfer window after Antonio Conte won the backing of the Premier League club's board to embark on spending spree to improve his squad.

But the £60m signing of Brazil international Richarlison from Everton is unlikely to be their last bit of business as the ambitious Italian reshapes his squad. Richarlison joins Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster through the door so far this summer.

But Conte still feels his squad has several holes - with a centre back top of the current agenda. Here, Mirror Sport takes a look at the latest Tottenham transfer news and rumours.

Lenglet on the way

Conte's prime target to fill that defensive slot is Barcelona misfit Clement Lenglet, who is poised to sign for Spurs on loan. And transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims it's just a matter of time before the deal is done, with personal terms no longer a problem. Conte sees Lenglet on the left side of his back three, alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero.

Bergwijn double snub

Steven Bergwijn is one player Spurs will sell this summer to make room for new signings, and is expected to undergo a medical this week ahead of a £26m switch to Ajax. But according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Bergwijn agreed to the transfer after turning down both Everton and United. Bergwijn has been surplus to requirements at Tottenham for months and faced being forced even further down the pecking order this season.

Duo set for exit

Following Bergwijn out of the door could be Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso, with Spanish media outlet Super Deporte claiming both are set for a move to La Liga. Neither player has featured much under Conte and Gil is wanted by Real Sociedad on loan, with Villarreal chasing Lo Celso. With Spurs still in the market for more signings there wilol have to be outgoings to make room, and both Gil and Lo Celso are open to a move.
