Hugo Lloris backs 'modern' defender Clement Lenglet to shine for Spurs

Clement Lenglet is on loan to Tottenham from Barcelona. Antonio Conte is making a lot of changes to his team before the next season.

Hugo Lloris

has no doubt that Clement Lenglet, on loan at

Tottenham

from

Barcelona

, will adjust to the Premier League. After four years at Barcelona, where he won a LaLiga title and a Copa del Rey, Lloris's countryman comes to Spurs for the 2022-23 season.

Tottenham has already gotten Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, and

Ivan Perisic

this transfer window.

Middlesbrough

fullback Djed Spence is also set to join Antonio Conte's team.

Spurs beat their rivals

Arsenal

to fourth place and a spot in the Champions League thanks to a strong finish to last season, and Lloris thinks Lenglet will be a huge asset to the team. Lloris told reporters, "You know he's the kind of player who will help the team, given his experience from playing for Barcelona."

"As a player, I think he's a modern defender. He's comfortable playing from the back, and his left foot is great. He can be very strong one-on-one, and he's strong in the air. Even though it's never easy to get into the Premier League, and he'll have to get used to how hard the games are, he's a good player.

"He has a great personality and will fit in well with the rest of the team." Conte was asked about Spence's possible arrival, but he wouldn't say anything about it. Instead, he talked about how he wants his team to get better. Conte told reporters, "We don't want to talk about rumors about Spence because it's rude to the other players, the club, and the other team."

"During the pre-season, we are working to improve many parts of the team. We need to get the players stronger and bring them up to a good level, physically and in terms of their skills. "It's a chance to work a lot more than during the season, which we're doing, and we're happy because we're doing a great job."
