TOTTENHAM are finalising a deal to bring in Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet on loan.
The 27-year-old centre-back has been told he does not feature in manager Xavi's plans next season.
And Spurs are keen to snap him up on a season-long loan move as Antonio Conte continues to bolster his squad.

Lenglet has already agreed personal terms with the Premier League side.
And Mundo Deportivo understand all that is left to negotiate is the player's salary.
