Tottenham Hotspur-linked Giovani Lo Celso enjoyed a fine Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur scouts will be watching a whole host of players ahead of the summer transfer window, and may well have had one eye on Real Betis last night.
Spurs need reinforcements this summer after two straight transfer windows without a signing, and a midfielder is certainly required after seeing Mousa Dembele leave for China in January.
One name linked is midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, with the Daily Mail recently reported that Spurs are keeping tabs on the Argentinian ahead of a possible move for the Real Betis ace.
Lo Celso, 22, has been out on loan at Betis this season after struggling for playing time at Paris Saint-Germain, and Betis will demand €60million (£51.6million) for him once they activate his permanent move (Marca).
That may be a little beyond Spurs, but it would be little surprise to see them move for Lo Celso, given that he is left-footed and possesses the drive and quality on the ball to replace Dembele in midfield.
On Sunday, Lo Celso scored twice for Betis in a 2-1 win over Villarreal, taking his tally for the season to 14 goals – and his first was a superb lob on the run to open the scoring.
A smart finish with his weaker right foot secured the win, and he summed up just why Spurs are interested with a superb display – but whether they can actually secure a deal is another matter after his latest outstanding performance.
