Not sure about the ‘undisputed starter’ bit!La salida de Lenglet al Tottenham, inminente

"Lenglet Move To Spurs Imminent"
Clement Lenglet will leave Barça in the next few hours. Today there is a summit meeting between Barça, Tottenham and the player's entourage to finalise the player's contract with an agreement between the clubs already closed at the expense of the centre-back giving the green light to the operation. Lenglet, who spoke to Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, was hesitating but finally gave his arm in the opposite direction last Friday and now it is a question of squaring all the figures because the Blaugrana club wants to save the whole of the player's salary.
If nothing strange happens, the transfer should be made official in the next few hours. The French centre-back has not yet presented himself for medical checks at Barça as he is on leave, as is the case with some of his other team-mates. Riqui Puig and Neto, who had permission, have gone to the sports city, but Lenglet will not be in Barcelona but the idea is that he will join Tottenham training immediately.
The loan will be for a single season and the option to buy will be worth more than ten million euros. Lenglet, finally, has decided to join a Champions League team where he will be an undisputed starter. The Frenchman was waiting for another option such as Juventus to come up, but the market is at a standstill and he has opted to give Tottenham the OK after Conte's sporting interest. He will have minutes, he will be able to revalue himself and he will gain options to play the World Cup in Qatar with France if his performance is optimal.
