Tottenham are 'interested in taking Barcelona's French star Clement Lenglet on loan next season'... as Antonio Conte looks to add defensive reinforcements in an already busy transfer window for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the race for Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet as they look to bring the player in on loan for the duration of next season.

According to ESPN, via Mundo Deportivo, Spurs are proposing to cover the entirety of the Frenchman's wages if he is to join on loan, as Antonio Conte seeks to bolster his defence ahead of a Champions League campaign.

Lenglet's place at Barca has become increasingly under threat with the impending arrival of Andreas Christensen, and with the club believed to be lining up a big-money move for Jules Kounde, they will want to free up space on their wage bill.
