Report: French international to travel to Spurs this weekend to undergo medical

Clement Lenglet is expected to travel to London this weekend to complete his move to Tottenham Hotspur according to Spanish news outlet Marca.

The report claims that the French international is no longer expected to report for duty with Barcelona for pre-season training on Monday at their Ciudad Deportiva training facility.

Lenglet was pushed further down the central defensive pecking order at the Camp Nou following the arrival of Eric Garcia last summer and with Andreas Christensen having run down his contract at Chelsea, he is expected to get even less game time.

The former Sevilla defender started just seven games during the 2021-22 La Liga campaign (transfermarkt).

Lenglet will now make the trip to England to finalise his season-long loan with Antonio Conte’s side, who will board the flight to South Korea on July 9th to begin their pre-season tour.

Ben Davies played well on the left side of the central defensive trio last season, but he needs competition, especially with the club looking to compete on multiple fronts in the campaign ahead having secured a return to the Champions League.
