Sevilla have completed a deal to sign Nancy centre-back Clement Lenglet for a fee in the region of €4.5m (£3.8m), reports Diario de Sevilla, via AS.
Lenglet, 21, has impressed for Ligue 1 outfit Nancy this season and arrives at Sevilla as their first signing of the January transfer window.
The highly-rated France U21 international has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal with Sevilla and is set to be announced imminently after they sold Timothee Kolodziejczak to Borussia M.Gladbach on Wednesday.
Sevilla director of football Monchi has reportedly been tracking the Nancy centre-back for several years and will join up with his new teammates straight away.
Lenglet had featured in all but one of Nancy’s 19 league games this season and returned with a modest WhoScored rating of 7.04. The youngster ranks in the top 10 for possession won in the defensive third in Ligue 1 this season (74), while an average of 2.5 tackles and 2.6 interceptions per game further highlights the proactive side to his approach to defending.
