Sources: Tottenham close to two new signings after £4m+ Clement Lenglet deal agreed
Tottenham are closing in on two new signings after more developments in what is shaping up to be a summer transfer blitz.
A Spurs source has told Football Insider that an agreement has been reached with Barcelona for the loan of defender Clement Lenglet.
The club are also close to a breakthrough in their Djed Spence pursuit and are now only £1million apart from Middlesbrough as they come close to agreeing a fee.
The Londoners are keen to get both deals in place in order for the players to join the club’s pre-season tour of South Korea.
That now appears likely, with Lenglet set to join in the coming days on loan from Barcelona.
Spurs have agreed to pay a loan fee of more than £4million for the 27-year-old France international, who has been identified to slot in to the left-sided centre-back role in Antonio Conte’s favoured back three.
Spence is wanted for the right wing-back role and progress is also being made on that deal.
Football Insider revealed on Thursday (29 June) that Tottenham are nearing a breakthrough following new discussions between chairman Daniel Levy and his Boro counterpart Steve Gibson.
Spurs have upped their bid and are now closer to the £20m price, including add-ons, that Gibson has wanted from the outset for the Fulham academy product.
All parties are now increasingly confident of reaching a full agreement over a deal and that Spence can take his place on Tottenham’s pre-season tour.
