Aston Villa closing in on the capture of 28-year-old La Liga ace | OneFootball

Aston Villa are set to sign the Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the West Midlands club have agreed on a loan deal with the Spanish club for the 28-year-old defender and the player will complete his move to the Premier League club soon.

The defender has been linked with a return to Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks but it seems that Aston Villa have now moved swiftly to secure his services. The defender does not have a future at Barcelona and the move makes sense for all parties.

Aston Villa could certainly use more quality and depth in the defensive unit and the Frenchman should prove to be a quality acquisition.

He was on loan at Tottenham last season and he did reasonably well for the London outfit. He could be a key player for Aston Villa this season and help them do well in Europe as well.
