Fabrizio Romano drops update on Tottenham midfielder’s future

Giovani Lo Celso’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains up in the air. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the Argentine midfielder’s situation, revealing that Lo Celso is actively seeking a move away from Spurs after being informed that he does not feature in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the upcoming season.

Lo Celso, whose current contract with Tottenham runs until June of next year, is determined to secure a transfer before the window closes.

This comes in the wake of fellow midfielder Oliver Skipp nearing a move to Leicester City, showing that Tottenham are making big changes to their squad.

According to Romano, Lo Celso is attracting interest from several European clubs. Aston Villa and Real Betis are reportedly leading the race for his signature, but the situation remains fluid.

Romano suggests that while these two clubs are at the forefront, other teams could still emerge as potential suitors before the transfer deadline.

Speaking to Daily Briefing, Romano emphasized that the situation is “open” and “could see surprises.” Lo Celso is clear about his desire to leave Tottenham, and his current predicament underscores his need for more consistent playing time, which he has struggled to secure at Spurs.

Lo Celso’s time at Tottenham has been marked by inconsistency and injury issues. Since joining the club on loan from Real Betis in 2019, a move that was later made permanent, Lo Celso has failed to establish himself as a regular starter.

Last season, he made only four Premier League starts out of 22 appearances, contributing two goals and two assists. This lack of consistent playing time has contributed to his desire to find a new club where he can play more regularly.

Tottenham are keen to offload Lo Celso this summer to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer next year.

Spurs are likely to help him find a new team where he can play more regularly. This move will also let Tottenham fine-tune their squad before the new season starts.
