AC Milan look to have given Spurs clear path in pursuit of Lenglet

The ‘’ defender did shine on occasions for Tottenham last season despite the club having a bad campaign.

Lenglet is clearly highly-rated, that is what saw Barcelona sign him in the first place. He would definitely add some much-needed squad depth to the Spurs defence.

AC Milan seeming to be hesitant on the finances involved in a deal for Lenglet is great news for Spurs. The Italian side, who are in the Champions League next season, would have provided some serious competition for Spurs.
