The Frenchman spent last season on loan at Tottenham and there were expectations that Spurs would try to re-sign him this summer.

 

Tottenham did hold talks with Barcelona, but decided to go elsewhere and Lenglet is now joining Aston Villa.

 

 

 

With two days left in the window, the Frenchman is finally closing in on a move away from Barcelona this summer.

 

According to Catalan journalist Gerard Romero, the defender is being put through a medical at Aston Villa this morning.

 

 

Aston Villa were forced into the market for another defender after Tyrone Mings picked up a serious injury on the opening weekend of the season.

 

Unai Emery and his staff identified Lenglet as a potential target and Villa have a deal in place with Barcelona to sign him on loan.

 

 

The Frenchman will sign a loan contract with the Midlands club once he successfully passes through the medical checks.
