Giovani Lo Celso has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with Napoli interested in him.
Giovani Lo Celso was on loan at Villarreal last season, and he does not have a future at Tottenham Hotspur. According to a report from Calciomercato, Napoli are now keen on signing the Argentine international.
The 27-year-old has been linked with clubs like Real Betis as well. The player cost Tottenham €32 million when they signed him from the Andalusian club. But Lo Celso will need to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer to get his career back on track. And a move to Napoli could be ideal for him.
It is evident that the Serie A winners are looking to add some creativity and goals to their midfield, and the 27-year-old could prove to be a quality option. Lo Celso has impressed in La Liga, and he certainly has the technical attributes to thrive in Italian football as well.
Clearly, he is not in the first-team plans of Ange Postecoglou, and a permanent exit from Tottenham would be ideal for all parties. The Argentine midfielder will look to sort out his long-term future this summer and concentrate on his football.
The opportunity to play for the Serie A champions could be an attractive proposition for the player. Napoli managed to win the Scudetto last season, and they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League as well.
There is no doubt that they have an immensely talented squad, and Lo Celso will only help them improve. The Argentine international will help create more goalscoring opportunities for players like Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Furthermore, he is versatile enough to play as a winger as well as a central attacking midfielder. In addition to that, his stature at Tottenham means that he could be available for a knockdown price this summer.
He is not a key player for the North London club, and they will be looking to get rid of him for a reasonable price. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure an agreement with Napoli in the coming weeks. But they will likely take a loss on their €32 million investment.
