Clement Lenglet is a transfer target for Barcelona. The Sevilla centre-back, who on Saturday impressed at Camp Nou, is only 22 but is proving one of the best players in Eduardo Berizzo's side, which has caught Barça's attention. 

His teammate and former Barça player Nolito was asked about the rumours surrounding Lenglet and says that he is more than ready to play for Ernesto Valverde's side. 

"Lenglet's a great player and I want him in my team," Nolito said. "I think he has the level to play for Barça. There's no reason for him to be jealous of the defenders they have. He's learning and he will be one of the best centre-backs in Europe if he continues like this." 

 

Nolito also felt that Sevilla deserved more at Camp Nou last weekend: "At San Mames [against Athletic Club] we didn't deserve to lose. Sevilla try to compete against all teams, the same at home as away. Little by little, we're playing better. Against Leganes, Spartak and Barça we played well."
