Giovani Lo Celso is poised to leave Tottenham after struggling for playing time under Ange Postecoglou.
Lo Celso’s future has been uncertain since the start of the transfer window. Despite playing a part in Argentina’s Copa America win, the attacking midfielder is not in plans of Tottenham going ahead and according to a report from Estadio Deportivo, the Argentine international is all set to part ways with the club on the back of Ange Postecoglou’s unfulfilled promise from last season.
Lo Celso was expected to be on the move last summer after having spent 18 months out on loan but the Australian manager wanted him around and promised him enough minutes. But, he couldn’t deliver as the 28-year-old was involved in 24 matches but he was on the pitch for less than 600 minutes.
After having struggled for minutes last season, Lo Celso is pushing hard to leave the club. With his contract running out, Tottenham are also ready to sanction his departure. But, nothing concrete has happened so far.
Meanwhile, he has been left out of the Spurs squad for the opening fixtures of the season despite being fully fit and as confirmed by those close to the player, the club and the player are no longer on the same page.
While he was linked with a move to Aston Villa, it hasn’t gone through and according to the report, the Argentine has practically decided that his time in England is over. He is on the lookout for an ideal destination for himself but is not looking to return to his homeland yet. He wants to continue in Europe with Spain being the preferred destination.
