Aston Villa have secured a French centre back on a temporary deal.

The Premier League giants have agreed to sign Clement Lenglet on loan from Barcelona.

The central defender was impressive on loan at Tottenham last season under Antonio Conte.

Villa were forced into the move after Tyrone Mings picked up a serious injury.

Lenglet had also wanted out of Barca, as he was unhappy about his lack of playing time.

He will now be hoping to establish himself as a starter under Unai Emery at Villa Park.
