Clement Lenglet is heading for his Tottenham medical

Clement Lenglet is reportedly in London ahead of his Tottenham medical after agreeing a season-long loan deal from Spanish giants Barcelona.

The 27-year-old centre-back was one of six players that the Catalan giants boss Xavi told are not in his plans going forward in previous reports.

The Frenchman has, however, been heavily linked with a move to north London prior to that news and it seems a deal is now extremely close to being completed.

Lenglet is said to have already arrived in the capital ahead of his medical checks to seal the deal, according to sport.es.

The report suggests he will join initially on a season-long loan deal, with an option to make the switch permanent for around £8.5million. 

The defender, who recently signed a new contract until 2026 just 18 months ago, made just seven starts for Barcelona last season as they finished third in LaLiga.

He fell out of favour under Barca boss Xavi last campaign, as Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia and Gerard Pique were preferred to him at the heart of Barca's back line.

Lenglet will now look to try resurrect his career in the Premier League as Spurs boss Antonio Conte looks set to make the defender his fifth summer signings as he rebuilds his squad.
