Alasdair Gold: Spurs have star on their list fans think is 'the worst defender in the world'

Tottenham Hotspur do have Clement Lenglet on their radar this summer as Antonio Conte looks to add a new centre-back to his squad. 

This has been suggested by the reliable Spurs journalist Alasdair Gold who was discussing the Barcelona man on his latest YouTube video.

It is apparent the main target on Fabio Paratici’s list this summer at centre-back is Alessandro Bastoni, with Josko Gvardiol coming in at number two.

However, there have been strong reports emerging in recent days suggesting an agreement between Spurs and Barcelona is edging ever closer.

Lenglet currently has four years remaining on his current deal at the Camp Nou but Gold believes he is an option for Spurs this summer:

“And then there’s one that’s, and he is on this list, who caused a little bit of people complaining this week and that is, I’m hopefully not gonna murder the pronunciation of this, Clement Lenglet.”

“I understand, Spurs tried to sign him on loan last summer. And that was turned down by the player. The player didn’t want to leave Barcelona at that point. He’s played 27 times for Barcelona last season, started four games in the Champions League. There’s talk because there are financial problems that he’ll be available on a loan deal, potentially a two-year loan deal has been spoken about.”

“People [fans] absolutely saying he’s the worst defender in the world ever. I think there’s an element of, he’s not Bastoni. And I think that’s what comes into play when people talk about this sort of stuff. He’s a good player, you know, he’s a France international as well.”

It is apparent Gold has picked up on the negative reaction the reports covering this possibility has attracted on social media among Spurs fans.
