Clément Lenglet: Aston Villa complete loan deal for Barcelona defender

Clément Lenglet played on loan for Tottenham in the Premier League last season

Aston Villa have completed a loan move for Barcelona defender Clément Lenglet, subject to his visa being approved.

The 28-year-old France international is returning to the Premier League after making 24 starts in 26 appearances last season for Tottenham.

Villa have been seeking cover at centre-back after Tyrone Mings suffered a serious knee injury in their opening day 5-1 defeat at Newcastle.

Lenglet has made 15 appearances for France since making his debut in 2019.
