Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte wants to sell Giovani Lo Celso in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.

The report published today has claimed that Tottenham boss Conte does not see Lo Celso as part of his plans and want to offload the 26-year-old Argentina international midfielder.

The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder joined Tottenham on loan from Real Betis in the summer of 2019 when Mauricio Pochettino was in charge of the North London club and eventually made the deal permanent.

No future for Giovani Lo Celso at Tottenham Hotspur

In our view, Giovani Lo Celso does not have a future at Tottenham Hotspur, and it would make sense for him to move on.

If Conte does not want the Argentine at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, then, in our view, Tottenham chiefs Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici should try to strike a deal with another club and offload him.

There is no point in Lo Celso taking up a spot in the Premier League squad next season when he is unlikely to play much.

The Argentine spent the second half of this season on loan at Villarreal, and he did well at the Spanish club.

Lo Celso made 11 starts and five substitute appearances in La Liga for the Yellow Submarine.

He scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.

The midfielder played six times in the Champions League as well for Villarreal.

Villarreal finished seventh in the La Liga table and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.
