That left Spurs needing to move on to other targets and they appear set to land Lenglet before the weekend. The left-sider has been derided by some fans for his form at Barca and will be keen for a fresh start in the Premier League.
Lenglet has made 158 appearances for the Catalan club but has remarkably been sent off on five occasions in just three seasons. He struggled to feature prominently under Xavi Hernandez following the Spaniard’s appointment in November.
The 15-cap French international will therefore hope for a much better spell in England, where he could thrive in Conte’s back three. He will get the chance to feature in the Champions League following Spurs’ remarkable European push in the latter stages of last season.
But the fact that Spurs do not appear to have an option to buy Lenglet permanently is quite telling. Conte could end up signing top target Bastoni next year.
