Tottenham Hotspur have made a club record offer for midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

Tottenham Hotspur’s £53 million bid for Giovani Lo Celso, as reported by BBC Sport, is proof that this summer could be a very exciting one at White Hart Lane.

Whether Tottenham will be able to bring in Lo Celso from Real Betis remains to be seen, but their massive bid for him is the clearest indication yet that Daniel Levy plans to match Mauricio Pochettino’s ambition.

Spurs have failed to make a signing for well over a year now, but their progression on the pitch has still been vast.

Pochettino has been very clear in his press conferences that Spurs do need to start showing more ambition in the transfer market though.

Levy has remained tight lipped about Tottenham’s transfer plans so far, but the London club’s huge bid for Lo Celso suggests that they are entering into an exciting new era.

Tottenham’s first bid for Lo Celso is already way above the club’s transfer record, which was set back in 2017 for Davinson Sanchez.

Tottenham may actually fail in their attempts to sign the Betis playmaker, but the fact that they even have £53 million to bid on a player shows a huge change in approach to ever before in their history.

Levy has famously been very prudent with his spending at Tottenham, but the purse strings are now starting to loosen with the stadium built.

And if Spurs are making offers of £53 million at this early stage of the summer, then this transfer window could be one of the most exciting in recent memory at White Hart Lane.
