Spurs in talks over loan deal for Barca defender Lenglet

Tottenham are in talks over a loan deal for Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet but he is not the club's only centre-back target this summer.

A move to Spurs has been described as Lenglet's most likely destination by a source close to negotiations, if the France international is to leave the Nou Camp this summer.

However, an agreement is not yet close, with the 27-year-old not the only centre-back Spurs are making enquiries about as they look to add a left-footer to the back three.

Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici likes to line up several deals simultaneously before choosing the best option, and Villarreal's Pau Torres, Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni and RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol are also targets.

However, Bastoni and Gvardiol are understood to be content to stay put where they are, and neither of their clubs is particularly open to selling - putting sizeable price tags on each.
