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.
