Giovani Lo Celso has only managed 46 minutes in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur so far.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur’s Giovani Lo Celso has been impressed by the speed of the Premier League.
Lo Celso finally joined Spurs on a season-long loan from Real Betis after a protracted transfer saga that took much of the summer.
But it hasn’t been a fast and furious start to life in England for the Argentina international, who has only managed 46 minutes in the league for Tottenham so far.
Injuries have played a role in Lo Celso’s struggles to adapt to English football, and Emery, whose Arsenal side drew with Mauricio Pochettino’s troops at the Emirates earlier this season, says that the former Paris Saint-Germain playmaker told him personally that he’s ‘amazed’ by the pace of the game on these shores.
He told Football London: “Giovani lo Celso, when we played against Tottenham, also said to me, that rhythm is amazing, for the adaptation it’s not easy.”
One thing for sure is that Lo Celso is a classy, classy player and no doubt he will improve, the fitter he gets.
The problem right now is that Tottenham as a whole aren’t playing particularly well and it’s always going to be a lot more difficult to impress in a team that’s really struggling.
He could be involved tomorrow as Spurs visit Everton at Goodison Park.
