Tottenham: Paratici 'focusing on two positions' this month at Hotspur Way

Tottenham will turn their attention to signing a right wing-back once they secure a deal for Barcelona ace Clement Lenglet, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs have already confirmed four arrivals and are close to completing a fifth in the Frenchman, who’s expected to join on a season-long loan deal from the La Liga giants.

Antonio Conte’s side continued their blistering start to the transfer window on Friday when they secured the services of Richarlison in a £60m deal, including add ons.

The north Londoners have already signed Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma upon their return to the Champions League and are looking to make further additions before they jet off to South Korea for their pre-season tour this weekend.

According to The Athletic, Lenglet is close to becoming Conte’s fifth signing of the summer when he is expected to join on a temporary basis from Barcelona.

Once Lenglet is confirmed, Romano reckons that Tottenham’s focus will turn to bolstering their right wing-back department.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “They will consider opportunities during the market, this is how Fabio Paratici works, so maybe now at the beginning of July, their focus will be on the right-back after the centre-back, and then they will look at the market and what kind of possibilities there will be.”

It quickly became even less of a secret that Middlesbrough star Djed Spence is the Italian’s top target.

Tottenham have been chasing the 21-year-old’s signature since January, when he produced an impressive showing in Nottingham
