The Argentine arrived at Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day.
According to a report from Football.London, Giovani Lo Celso is still getting used to Mauricio Pochettino’s intense demands at Tottenham.
The Argentine arrived at Spurs on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day, and the north London outfit have an option to buy the midfield playmaker next summer.
He made a five minute cameo appearance for Tottenham away at Manchester City on Saturday, but he still seems to be a long way off full fitness, having not completed a full pre-season.
Lo Celso, 23, will undoubtedly go on to become an important player for Spurs, but will Sunday’s clash with Newcastle come too early for him?
Football.London claims that he could once again be left on the bench, as he continues to be brought up to speed working under Pochettino’s intense demands.
The football news website claims that Lo Celso could have to make do with another substitute appearance, but this time he might get around 30 minutes action.
Verdict
Pochettino has always eased his new signings into first-team action. Just look at how he handled Heung Min-Son and Lucas Moura when they arrived in north London.
Lo Celso will surely come good, but rushing him into the first-team from the start could be a mistake, considering the fact that he is used to the more pedestrian pace of La Liga and Ligue 1.
There will come a time when the Tottenham new-boy is ready, but it seems as though Spurs fans might just have to wait a little bit longer before they see him start for Pochettino’s side.
