Barcelona defender Lenglet closing in on Tottenham loan - report

Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet is reportedly closing in on a loan move to Tottenham and could complete his switch early next week.

Catalunya Radio are reporting he’s been given permission to travel to London and complete a temporary move to the Premier League side.

The two clubs have already agreed a loan deal, with a purchase option, and the deal could be announced on Tuesday, according to Diario Sport.

Tottenham are set to pay Lenglet’s wages, which will be a big boost to Barcelona and their efforts to trim the wage bill, although there’s a hint the Frenchman may also take a pay cut.
