Why would you sell Dier if all you are going to do is buy Lenglet?
For me its because of the following:
1 - Dier will be 30 in 6 months, Lenglet has just turned 28.
2 - Both are equal in defensive ability, but Lenglet is better on the ball (in my opinion).
3 - Potential to get Lenglet for £5m & sell Dier for more than that to pay for other positions.
4 - Personally I think Lenglet would be better in a team that presses and is on the front foot more which I would like to think we will be under Ange.
I am not saying that Lenglet is a definite, however if we could sign Tapsoba for big money & then bring in Tosin & Lenglet for small fees then that would be an improvement. Especially if we could move on the others for more.
