It’s not a summer if Giovani Lo Celso isn’t being linked with a move away from Tottenham and this year has continued the trend.
The midfielder is out of favour under Ange Postecoglou and in the final year of his deal, setting up a perfect concoction for a transfer away from Tottenham.
The question is where he ends up and Corriere della Sera cover that today, focusing on Lazio’s interest and how matters are not as simple as they may seem from the outside.
The newspaper explains that the Italian side are working on the market at present as they look to strengthen their squad and the Tottenham man is one of the names they have looked at.
They say Tottenham are ‘ready to let him go’ but the ‘repeated physical problems’ that have limited him for some time are ‘scary’.
That’s seemingly led Lazio and others to think carefully about whether they want to make their move for the Argentine, fearing they could be lumbered with a player who suffered knee problems, a muscle injury, a hamstring injury and another unknown injury last season alone.
It’s also an explanation of why there has been little movement, despite him being in the final year of his deal, Tottenham being keen to sell and him being equally keen to move on as well.
