Clement Lenglet, once criticized by by many fans for a particularly poor performance at Aston Villa, is a surprising target for Atletico Madrid given his recent form.
However, Clement Lenglet’s past performances in the Spanish La Liga suggest he could thrive again under Diego Simeone.
Despite Aston Villa’s need for a strong center-back ahead of their Champions League campaign, Unai Emery’s decision not to retain Clement Lenglet appears wise.
Clement Lenglet might provide Atletico Madrid with great defensive cover in the coming season when he joins them this summer.
