Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are facing a problem in signing Arsenal target Clement Lenglet from Barcelona in the summer transfer window, according to The Times.
The Times have reported that Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Barcelona central defender Lenglet.

The 26-year-old France international is a left-footed centre-back, and Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte is reportedly looking for a player of his profile.
However, according to the report, wages could be an issue for Tottenham, as the defender earns £170,000 pe week as salary.
Interestingly, Arsenal have also been linked with Lenglet.
The Times reported last week that Arsenal have also been offered the former Nancy and Sevilla centre-back.
Sport reported last month that Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton and Newcastle United all have made contact to sign the defender.
Clement Lenglet too expensive for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur
In our view, Clement Lenglet would be an expensive signing for Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur if they have to pay him ££170,000 per week.
Ben White and Gabriel are the two regular centre-backs in the Arsenal starting lineup, and Lenglet will have his work cut out to break that partnership.
Ben Davies has done well at left centre-back for Spurs, and we do not think that Tottenham should spend £170,000-a-week on a defender Barcelona are looking to sell.
If Spurs are to pay someone that much salary, then they should look for someone better.
