Tottenham Hotspur have completed their fifth signing in this transfer window after securing Clement Lenglet on a season-long loan from Barcelona for the 2022-23 season.
The Premier League outfit have heavily backed manager Antonio Conte during the transfer window after the Italian secured Champions League football next season.
Lenglet becomes the fifth signing behind Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster as new faces at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Clement Lenglet on a season-long loan from Barcelona,” Tottenham said in a statement.
The France international joined Barcelona from Sevilla back in 2018 for €35 million euros ($36 million) and won the La Liga title in his debut season.
But he slipped down the pecking order at the Camp Nou last season after a series of error-strewn performances.
Lenglet will add depth to Conte’s defensive options at centre-back, particularly on the left of his favoured back three.
