Aston Villa loanee Clement Lenglet is reportedly unhappy at Villa Park as he struggles to get much game-time.
A late deadline-day deal took Clement Lenglet on a loan move from Barcelona to Villa Park.
The move saw Lenglet set for his second season in the Premier League after his spell with Spurs last season.
Villa were forced into the signing late in the window due to Tyrone Mings‘ injury, which keeps the 28-year-old out for most of this season.
But the move hasn’t been a success, with Lenglet limited to cup competitions with Pau Torres and Ezri Konsa proving formidable competition.
So now after that, it has been reported that Lenglet is unhappy at the club.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Lenglet is said to be ‘going through a difficult time’ at Villa.
This news is believed to irritate Barcelona as they were hopeful of Lenglet securing a permanent move there.
Lenglet’s two appearances have both came in the Conference League.
The report adds that Lenglet has failed to gain the trust of Unai Emery which explains his lack of football thus far in England.
The report finally explains however that the ‘next few weeks will be decisive’ due to external interest in the player.
This could suggest an early termination of the loan by Barcelona as he isn’t getting the game-time they’d want.
Emery therefore will have a decision to make over the next few weeks, as no change in Lenglet’s circumstances could leave Villa needing a new defender in January.
