Spurs Near First Summer Signing from Barcelona Amid Internal Turmoil According to Report on Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur Steaming Ahead On Summer Transfers Despite Manager Woes

Tottenham Hotspur may be without a manager, but that hasn’t stopped them from making progress on their summer transfer plans. The Lilywhites are reportedly closing in on their first signing of the window – French defender Clement Lenglet.

Lenglet has been an option in Antonio Conte’s back three this season, and Spurs are keen to make his loan move permanent. Talks are said to be progressing well, with Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy apparently negotiating a deal worth just over £12 million – a bargain for a player who was once a first-teamer at Barcelona and won a La Liga title.

At just 27 years old, Lenglet still has plenty of potential, and bringing him on board permanently would be a smart move for Tottenham. It’s not just defenders they’re after, either – Spurs are believed to be in the market for a new goalkeeper, and their major transfer business may hinge on the future of talisman Harry Kane.

Despite the controversy behind the scenes – including the sacking of Antonio Conte and a worldwide ban for managing director of football Fabio Paratici – Tottenham are still in the game, with a deal for Lenglet looking likely to go ahead before a new manager is appointed. Stay tuned for more updates on the Lilywhites’ transfer dealings this summer.
