Clement Lenglet next: The last 13 players Tottenham signed from La Liga

Tottenham have completed the loan signing of centre-back Clement Lenglet from Barcelona and he will hope to do better than most of the players Spurs have brought from La Liga clubs in the past.

Lenglet has joined Spurs on a one-season deal, making him the club's 13th signing in the Premier League era.

Looking back at these players, it's fair to say that they had mixed success. Some had no impact, others failed to live up to the hype, while one couple achieved cult hero status.
Emerson Royal
It looked like a real coup when Spurs completed the deal in the summer of 2021.

A fully-fledged Brazilian international, Emerson had excelled for Real Betis for two seasons before Barcelona took up the option to buy him, which was part of the deal that originally brought him to Spain.
Due to their financial difficulties, however, Barca were forced to sell immediately and Spurs were awarded a cut-price £22.5million deal for the right-back.

Emerson struggled hard, however, putting in disastrous performances early in the season and only starting to show little form after Antonio Conte arrived.

Reports have emerged suggesting Emerson could be moved on this summer - Atletico Madrid are apparently keen on signing him - with Djed Spence brought in as a replacement.
Bryan Gil
A hugely talented and quite old-fashioned winger who hugs the touchline, Gil joined Spurs from Sevilla in the summer of 2021 but felt like he had barely had a chance to impress.
Following January's loan confirmation from Valencia, Conte was asked about the 21-year-old and said: "You can be good with quality. You can be a creative player, but at the same time, you have to be physically strong. You have to run a lot to be resilient.

"The impact of this league is not simple. It is not simple. For this reason, in the market, before signing a player, you must check many aspects and not get into emotional things."

We're no futurists, but we think Gil's chances at Spurs could also be limited in 2022-23.
Sergio Reguilon
The left-back was brought in from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020 for just under £30million, but while he was often impressive in his debut season, he left a lot to be desired at the moment. rear.
Under Antonio Conte he fell out of favor and Ryan Sessegnonon moved ahead of him in the line-up at left-back. With the arrival of Ivan Perisic this summer, it now looks like Reguilon is even lower in the pecking order.

Like Emerson, his future with Spurs now looks uncertain and Juventus are said to be sniffing.
Giovani Lo Celso
In some games Lo Celso looked like the perfect player for Spurs to build their midfield, in others he saw the game pass him completely.

In the end, Spurs got fed up with this inconsistency and sent him to Villarreal on loan. The move saw the Argentine return to his best form and help the Yellow Submarine sink Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League semi-final.

Villarreal want to make his lead permanent and the Mirror have suggested a swap deal is in the works which would see Pau Torres move to N17 in exchange for Lo Celso plus cash.
Pau Lopez
The former Espanyol goalkeeper is best known for his performances against city rivals Barcelona, as well as some of the most egregious bullshit by a goalkeeper since Jens Lehmann.
