Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino secured the signing of his compatriot Giovani Lo Celso on summer transfer deadline to the relief of the fans following weeks of negotiations. The Argentina international midfielder joined Spurs on a season-long loan with an option to buy from La Liga side Real Betis, and has made three Premier League appearances off the bench. The 23-year-old sustained a knock in the early hours of today during his country’s friendly against Chile, and Spurs will hope it isn’t a serious blow. Lo Celso is expected to play a huge role in Pochettino’s first-team going forward, and he shouldn’t have a problem settling down soon given the Argentine contingent at Tottenham.
