Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on both Bruno Fernandes and Giovani Lo Celso at this stage.

According to the Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur’s move for Bruno Fernandes does not mean that they have closed the door on Giovani Lo Celso.

Spurs have been negotiating for Lo Celso with Real Betis for weeks now, but they have failed to get a deal over the line, with both sides struggling to agree on a price tag for the midfielder who is valued at around £70 million (Telegraph).

Tottenham have now made contact with Sporting Lisbon, and appear to be at the front of the queue for Fernandes.

Fernandes and Lo Celso both would want to play in the same position if they were to arrive at Tottenham and that has caused fear that Mauricio Pochettino’s side may have dropped their interest in the Argentine playmaker.

However, the Telegraph suggest that Tottenham actually have interest in both of the pair.

Whether Fernandes and Lo Celso could both arrive at Tottenham this summer remains to be seen, but it would likely require Christian Eriksen to leave for that double-swoop to come off.

As it is, Tottenham may have to choose between the pair eventually, but they have not made a final decision yet, as they remain keen on both of the playmakers at this current stage.
