Expert issues ‘huge’ Clement Lenglet verdict after ‘under-the-radar’ Tottenham development
Clement Lenglet deserves credit after another impressive display for Tottenham.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Lenglet, 27, has started Spurs’ last five games in all competitions following an injury to Ben Davies.
Wenham was especially impressed with the defender’s outing against Arsenal on Saturday (1 October) as he dominated Bukayo Saka.
“I have been really thinking about this, I want to give credit to Clement Lenglet,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It was his first North London derby. I don’t watch every weekend but when I do, or I see the highlights, Bukayo Saka is always their most influential attacking player.
“He certainly was last season and I thought Clement Lenglet, on the whole, kept him fairly quiet, especially in the first half.
“I just wanted to give credit because I think his performance went a little bit under the radar. I have been impressed with him so far.
“The fact he has instantly come in for Ben Davies and we don’t look any weaker, that is a huge credit to him really.
“He’s a new signing to the Premier League, I know he has a lot of experience from Barcelona and with France but he already seems very reliable, like we could drop him in for any fixture.“
Lenglet joined Tottenham on loan from Barcelona during the summer of 2022.
He has now made six appearances for the club.
