The former Lilywhite has been impressed with how quickly his fellow Argentine has adapted to the demands of Premier League football
Tottenham legend Ossie Ardiles has urged Jose Mourinho to allow Giovani Lo Celso more freedom to express himself on the pitch, insisting he can go from "strength to strength" in a more advanced role.
Lo Celso arrived at Spurs from Real Betis on an initial loan deal last summer, but he was cut down by injury after making just three substitute appearances for the club.
A hip issue sustained while away on international duty with Argentina kept him out of action until October, but he has since managed to establish himself as a key member of the Lilywhites squad.
