Clément Lenglet, born on 17 June 1995 (age 31), is a French central defender with Benfica, where he wears number 2. His career has been built on regular first-team football rather than noise, with Sevilla the spell that pushed him firmly into wider view.
His best league return came at Sevilla in 2017-18, when he scored three goals in 35 appearances. For a centre-half, that is a useful contribution rather than a headline act, but it underlined his value at both ends during an important stage of his development.
At Benfica in 2026-27, Lenglet has made six Liga Portugal appearances and scored once. He has also played five times in Europa League qualifying, adding another goal, taking him to 11 appearances and two goals for the club across those competitions.
Lenglet’s career is that of an established French defender who made his strongest early impression in Spain and is now part of Benfica’s first-team squad.
