Player about to fly to England to sign for Aston Villa – Transfer agreement reached

Aston Villa are about to complete the signing of Clement Lenglet from Barcelona, according to reports from Spain.

RAC1 claims the defender is joining Unai Emery’s side on a loan deal with an option to buy.

It’s said that Lenglet has already left Barcelona’s facilities and is now about to travel to England for his medical and to sign with Aston Villa.

The transfer is also reported by El Chiringuito. With not a lot of information, they write on Twitter that Lenglet is on his way to the Premier League side, confirming that the move is being made on the basis of a loan deal.

It’s been a long summer for the defender, who’s been facing a lot of uncertainty since the return from his loan at Tottenham Hotspur last season.

There had been big rumours about a return to Spurs, but with the clubs not reaching an agreement, he was many times linked to other destinations..

Barcelona want to avoid paying his salary, and that’s why a loan deal is a good business for them at the end of the window, and Aston Villa now take advantage of that.
