TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR HOLD TALKS OVER SIGNING £145,000-A-WEEK PLAYER THIS WEEK

Tottenham Hotspur plan to hold talks with Barcelona over a potential deal to bring Clement Lenglet to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham Hotspur will hold talks with Barcelona this week over a potential move for Clement Lenglet.

Tottenham Hotspur plan Barcelona talks over Clement Lenglet

The news in the Spanish news publication has claimed that Barcelona are determined to get Lenglet off their books this summer.

The French centre-back spent last season on loan at Tottenham from Barcelona.

Lenglet made 24 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League, giving two assists in the process.

Mundo Deportivo has claimed that Lenglet has turned down a good offer from Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia because he wants to continue to play in Europe.

Spurs will play against Barcelona in Joan Gamper Trophy in Montjuic on August 8, and talks between the Premier League club and the La Liga champions over the £145,000-a-week (Spotrac)  will then take place.

Sport reported last week that the 28-year-old France international central defender has already agreed a three-year contract with Tottenham.

Barcelona are ready to sell Lenglet for €15 million (£13 million), but Spurs are reportedly not willing to pay the sum.

We believe that for £13 million, Tottenham should get a deal done for Lenglet.

Spurs clearly want the defender back at the club.

After all, the defender has already agreed personal terms with the North London outfit.

The new Premier League season will start in a matter of days.

A transfer fee of £13 million is not much, especially for a player of Lenglet’s quality and experience.

Tottenham will aim to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
