As recently as 2016, Lenglet was turning out in Ligue 2 with Nancy, helping the club win the second division title in France.

His performances with the French club were convincing enough for Sevilla to fork out €5 million to sign him and after two successful years at the Sanchez Pizjuan, Catalan giants Barcelona also went in for him with a transfer fee believed to be in the region of €35m and immediately helped his new club defeat his former club 2-1 in the 2019 Spanish Super Cup.

The superior experience of World Cup winners Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Pique meant that Lenglet was largely seen to be a squad player, however, the unfortunate long-term injury suffered by the former Lyon man thrust his compatriot into the limelight and the 23-year-old has grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Lenglet has so far made 15 LaLiga appearances, while also turning out for all seven of Barcelona's UCL fixtures and he has impressed significantly with his calm defending and positional awareness.
