Estadio Deportivo report that Ange Postecoglou has told the Tottenham board he prefers Giovani Lo Celso over a number of other midfield options at his disposal.
It is said that the Australian is trying to convince Lo Celso to stay in North London this summer, after the midfielder spent last season on loan in La Liga with Villarreal.
The new Spurs boss has allegedly even told the club’s hierarchy that he prefers Lo Celso to Rodrigo Bentancur, Tanguy Ndombele, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Postecoglou is a big fan of Lo Celso at Tottenham
The Argentine was arguably Tottenham’s most impressive player during their pre-season tour this summer, providing goals and assists against West Ham United and Lion City Sailors.
Apparently, Postecoglou has made it clear to Lo Celso that he is an important part of his plans, just like new summer signing James Maddison.
This comes after the Spurs boss admitted last month that he is a fan of Lo Celso and believes he is a good fit for the new system in N17 (Standard).
Spurs Web Opinion:
At the end of the day, the decision should be Postecoglou’s and his alone. He should be able to keep whatever players he likes, and Lo Celso does seem a good fit. However, I can imagine Bissouma, Bentancur, and Maddison will be the three once they are all fit.
