Barcelona defender Lenglet makes key Villa decision
Posted Thursday, January 11, 2024 by Tribalfootball.com
Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet is set to stay at Aston Villa for the rest of the season.
Lenglet had been thought to be eager to leave the club to secure regular football.
However, PA news agency states that Lenglet is willing to give it more time to get into manager Unai Emery's team.
Injuries to Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings mean that a spot in central defense is open.
Emery said last month of Lenglet: "He is a very good professional and we have been working with him every day, trying to understand our style. He was even coming in when the players had a day off to do extra work.
"I am speaking with Lenglet and sending him a message that I am very happy with him. I need him, the team needs him now.
"We agreed a contract between the club and him to help us out. There is nothing in my mind which has changed in that relationship."
