Tottenham Hotspur insider Paul O’Keefe has disclosed that the club are desperately seeking to sell midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
According to O’Keefe, the Argentine international does not fit into manager Ange Postecoglou’s system.
O’Keefe, speaking on the Last Word on Spurs podcast, noted that both Lo Celso is among the players Tottenham are trying to move on from. He believes the Argentine does not have the legs to play the football Ange expects to be played.
The transfer insider said:
“Lo Celso and Reguilon will be the two who they are desperately trying to get rid of.
“Giovani [Lo Celso] they say that he does not have the legs for Ange’s system, so they are prepared to let him out and I think that was quite obvious the way he was a bit-part player. He came on and did a few nice cameos.
“There is obviously a player there, he is a talented footballer but he doesn’t suit what they want.”
Last season, Lo Celso made only four Premier League starts out of 22 appearances, contributing two goals and two assists. His time at the North London outfit has been marred by injuries and limited playing time, diminishing his impact on the field.
With his contract approaching its final year, Spurs view the sale of Lo Celso as an opportunity to free up space and raise funds for new signings that better align with Postecoglou’s tactical vision.
As the transfer window progresses, Tottenham will be keen to finalise Lo Celso’s departure, enabling them to bring in new players who can contribute more effectively to their campaign.
