To say Giovani Lo Celso is a conflicting figure for Tottenham would be an understatement, yet the playmaker took on a new form entirely last night for Argentina.
The Mauricio Pochettino signing had a game to remember for the South American giants. Lo Celso registered two assists and six key passes for Argentina in their 3-0 win against Uruguay.
The former Real Betis star has struggled for consistency with Spurs. So it is a surprise to see Lo Celso perform so well for Argentina against an opponent as strong as Uruguay.
Yet the midfielder’s performance is a testament to just how much quality and potential Lo Celso has. And for Argentina, the playmaker has been given the correct tools to show off his skills.
Indeed, it was a remarkable display from the Argentina star. The Copa America holders now sit in a strong position to automatically qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
And with Lo Celso performing so well for Argentina, there’s a strong chance that the Spurs star will be on the plane in over a year’s time should he continue to shine like this for his country.
