La Liga club Real Betis will reportedly look to sign 28-year-old Tottenham playmaker Giovani Lo Celso in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by AS, as relayed by Sport Witness, Giovani Lo Celso is still the subject of interest from Real Betis. The Verdiblancos had considered bringing the Argentine international back to La Liga in January. However, a move did not materialise, and they are keen on signing him from Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
Giovani Lo Celso and his Tottenham travails
Giovani Lo Celso has endured a frustrating stint with Tottenham in the last few years. The 28-year-old began his spell with the North London club with a bang, producing a productive campaign in his debut season. However, he has struggled to hit the heights of his early days as a Tottenham player.
The 50-cap Argentine international flourished during an 18-month stay at Villarreal but has been a bit-part player under the tutelage of Ange Postecoglous this season. Lo Celso has managed only 1,138 minutes of game time across 38 appearances in all competitions, although he has a respectable tally of four goals and four assists.
So, the former Paris Saint-Germain playmaker will likely leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window. And he might not have a shortage of suitors, with recent reports linking him with Aston Villa. However, a return to the comforts of La Liga might be on the cards, with Real Betis keen on securing his services.
La Liga return on the horizon?
Giovani Lo Celso was keen on rejoining Real Betis in the summer transfer window. However, a move did not materialise, with Tottenham looking to keep hold of him. The continued interest is understandable amid the uncertainties surrounding the futures of Guido Rodriguez and William Carvalho.
In addition, Nabil Fekir is on the wrong side of 30, although the Frenchman remains a regular. Nevertheless, Lo Celso is a viable target for Real Betis, with the Verdiblancos determined to bring him back to La Liga.
With the 28-year-old keen on leaving Tottenham in the summer transfer window, a move to the Benito Villamarin Stadium might be on the cards. It will be interesting to see if the 50-cap Argentine international rejoins Real Betis this summer.
