Spurs could avenge Lenglet's mistake with £21m “extraordinary” star

Tottenham Hotspur have less than a week left to complete more business before the summer transfer window officially closes.

One of the summer signings made his debut in Saturday's 4-0 win over Everton in London, as Wilson Odobert was given a start in the side.

Dominic Solanke and Archie Gray were also brought in and started in the 1-1 draw with Leicester City in the first game of the Premier League campaign.

There could be more to come, in terms of signings, before Friday's deadline and they have been linked with one player who could avenge the lamented Clement Lenglet.

The cry of Tottenham and Clement Lenglet

Daniel Levy is set to sign the Frenchman on a season-long loan from Spanish giants Barcelona in the summer of 2022 in a bid to strengthen Antonio Conte's squad.

The experienced defender stepped in to provide competition behind the head coach of Italy but endured a difficult season in England.

As you can see from the table above, he made two mistakes that directly led to a shot or a goal for his opponents and was outplayed 18 times.

This indicates that he used to make mistakes, in giving the ball to dangerous areas and allowing players to pass him, in the heart of the defense, which is why the loan did not work out in the end and did not bring them. bring him back forever.

Spurs can now avenge their Lenglet mistake

Levy can now avenge his mistake with Lenglet, who was far from the best player for Spurs, by returning to Barcelona to sign another defender – Andreas Christensen.

Spanish outlet Sport recently reported that Tottenham are one of the clubs interested in the Denmark international, who is available for £21m, and would fit in as a solid addition to the defensive wing.

In the 2023/24 campaign, Christensen made 30 LaLiga appearances for Barcelona and attracted attention for his work both on and off the pitch.

The Danish colossus, once called “extraordinary” by Xavi, completed 94% of his attempts in the league, compared to 87% for Lenglet and Spurs in the Premier League.

Christensen was also only outclassed 12 times and did not make a single mistake that led to a shot or goal from the opposition, showing that he is more defensive than the Frenchman.

The former Chelsea ace will also bring dominance to the team, having won 71% of his aerial games last season, and that could help Ange Postecoglou clear the pieces again when it comes to defending crosses, which has been a problem for Ange Postecoglou. Jamie Vardy's goal against Leicester.

Overall, Christensen's form for Barcelona and his cheap price of £21m suggest he would be a smart signing to complement Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, while he avenges the Lenglet howler by coming in as an impressive centre-back. Barcelona.
