Aston Villa eye bid for Tottenham midfielder also pursued by Spanish club

The summer transfer window at Tottenham Hotspur might see another departure, with Giovani Lo Celso's future hanging in the balance.

Following the exits of first-team players like Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Bryan Gil, the focus now shifts to the potential movement of Lo Celso, who has had an inconsistent tenure with Spurs.

Lo Celso has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting eleven under Ange Postecoglou, largely due to injury issues and fluctuating form.

Despite his undoubted talent, Lo Celso's sporadic appearances have raised questions about his long-term future at Tottenham.

Recent reports from the Daily Mail suggest that a move away from North London is increasingly likely. Aston Villa, a club that has long shown interest in the 28-year-old, could be on the verge of finalizing a deal.

This potential transfer is particularly intriguing given Lo Celso’s previous successful stint under Unai Emery at Villarreal, which could influence his preference for a return to the Spanish coach's new team.

Adding to the speculation, Lo Celso’s exclusion from Tottenham’s squad for their recent friendly against Bayern Munich has further fueled rumors of an imminent move.

Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer expert, has indicated that Villa and Real Betis are among the clubs keen on acquiring the midfielder.

Moreover, there have been discussions about a possible player-plus-cash deal involving Lo Celso and Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey, a move that could benefit both clubs by addressing their respective needs.

Despite the strong interest from English clubs, including Aston Villa and others in the Premier League, Lo Celso may have a preference for returning to Spain, where he has previously excelled.

His previous success in La Liga might make a move to Spain more appealing, but the evolving situation at Tottenham suggests that a transfer to Villa could still be on the cards.
