Journalist blasts the signing of £150k-a-week defender at Aston Villa
According to journalist Neil Moxley, Clement Lenglet has “looked miles off the pace” since his move to Aston Villa from Barcelona.
Lenglet was chosen by Villa as the ideal Mings replacement. The Frenchman had expertise with English football as he spent last season on loan at Tottenham before returning to Barcelona this summer.
“Did they need to make a signing? Yes, probably. Was Lenglet the right man? I’m not so sure. He looked miles off the pace when I saw him play for Villa in Poland [against Legia Warsaw.] Emery can’t waste time on allowing people to get up to speed. Villa are competing on three fronts after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup. But Lenglet needs to force his way in there. Currently, Konsa and Torres are doing a pretty good job.”
