One of many (many) unanswered questions Tottenham Hotspur must reply this summer time is the way forward for Giovani Lo Celso. Gio was bought for Mauricio Pochettino the identical summer time as Tanguy Ndombele, proper in the beginning fell aside. Since then, Gio has been out and in of the group, ultimately deciding on “out” underneath Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. Conte specifically needed nothing to do with him, and Gio was loaned to Villarreal for the solely of this season.
However he’s nonetheless a Tottenham Hotspur participant till June of 2025, and so Tottenham want to determine what to do with him. Pursuant to that, there are rumors popping out of the Argentina soccer media that means Aston Villa might be a attainable vacation spot for him, if Tottenham wish to promote him. Argentina journalist Gaston Edul, by way of Albiceleste Speak, is saying simply that, implying that Unai Emery would very very like to convey him to the Midlands this summer time.
It does convey up an fascinating scenario. We don’t know but who Tottenham might be hiring as their subsequent everlasting supervisor, however all indicators are pointing in direction of a head coach who performs a markedly totally different fashion of soccer to that of both Mourinho or Conte. And reality be informed, Spurs at present have a Giovani Lo Celso formed gap of their midfield, one which might be stuffed by… nicely, Giovani Lo Celso. He’s a great participant, even when he’s been a sq. peg in a spherical gap for the previous three seasons or so. I hardly blame Gio for 2 defensive managers deciding that he’s not what they need of their sides.
That’s assuming that he’s not simply fully over Tottenham and desires out, which is a really actual chance. Nevertheless, I do ponder whether with the precise coach in place that particular person might persuade Gio to stay round, as long as he’s given assurances that he’d really play.
I don’t know. I feel Gio could be FANTASTIC for Aston Villa, and if Villa make a proposal there’s a great likelihood they may get some respectable cash for him this summer time. That stated, I feel there’s additionally a universe the place Spurs maintain onto, and even play, Lo Celso with a coach and in a system that really fits him. Or to place it one other means, as a substitute of shopping for a brand new Lo Celso, possibly we should always simply maintain the one we have now? I’m a identified Gio apologist, however I feel I’d quite dwell in that alternate actuality, to be trustworthy.
