I was told today by a Sky journalist that the £32 million player most likely won’t be joining Tottenham.

The rumour that Clement Lenglet might be moving to Tottenham has persisted all summer.

In the last week of the transfer window, no deal has been finalised and it doesn’t appear that it will either. The French defender has been linked with a return to the north London club after his loan period is over.Lenglet is now unlikely to sign with Tottenham this summer, according to Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas, who was speaking on Last Word on Spurs.

Lenglet is indeed reportedly no longer anticipating his deal to Tottenham to materialise, according to sources close to the player, according to Thomas.

Lenglet not expecting Spurs move

Thomas disclosed his knowledge of the £32 million center-back.

“Lenglet is the only remaining left-footer on the list. He is still available, and we are aware that Lenglet has been the subject of sporadic discussions between Spurs and Barcelona during the summer regarding a number of players. Some sources close to the athlete told me today that it was doubtful; they weren’t anticipating that to happen,” Thomas stated.

For all parties concerned, Lenglet leaving Tottenham is probably a positive thing.Lenglet doesn’t need to go back to a team where, with all due respect, the supporters don’t really want him, and Tottenham don’t need a center-back who showed last season that he isn’t good enough.

Lenglet is a gifted athlete who may be able to regain the form that made him a regular for Barcelona and France a few years ago with a fresh start.In all honesty, none of the parties concerned would have understood this action.
