In a recent update on Instagram (via Football.London), Real Betis midfield ace Giovani Lo Celso dropped a hint that he might be inching closer towards a summer departure. He posted a message on his Instagram story that read (translated via Football.London), “Gracias por todo Profe Licha”, which translates to, “Thanks for everything teacher.”
Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move for the La Liga sensation this summer as Mauricio Pochettino looks to build a strong squad capable of challenging on all fronts next season.
Giovani Lo Celso’s Incredible Rise In The Top Tier Of Spain
The Argentine playmaker enjoyed a rich vein of form for Real Betis in the previous campaign. He put in a series of outstanding displays in midfield for the La Liga outfit which helped them secure a tenth place finish in the league table. Lo Celso scored 16 times and earned six assists in 46 appearances for the Spanish side across all competitions last season.
The Rosario-born midfielder has also represented Argentina in 18 international matches while registering two goals for his nation thus far. He played an integral role for the Argentine Olympic team in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
What Are The La Liga Prospect’s Best Attributes?
Lo Celso is quick enough to make some driving runs from midfield, which can cause a lot of headaches for the opposing defenders. He can also score goals consistently as evidenced by his stellar record last season.
The Argentina international can be a difficult man to dispossess as he hardly makes an inaccurate pass. However, Lo Celso needs to be more creative in the opposition half if he wants to become a world-class player in his position someday. What makes the 23-year-old such a highly sought-after talent is his ability to regularly find the back of the net even when his team is not playing well. However, one can argue whether he has enough experience under his belt to play for a top club like Tottenham.
Will Lo Celso Be A Good Fit At Spurs?
There is no doubt that a goal-scoring midfielder like Lo Celso will bolster Pochettino’s midfield options significantly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He will add more goals to the Spurs midfield and could turn out to be an ideal replacement for Christian Eriksen if the Dane leaves the North London outfit this summer.
