Tottenham 'hoping to use Giovanni Lo Celso in swap deal' as January exit looms for midfielder after he was left out of squad to face Chelsea despite declaring himself '100 per cent' fit

Giovani Lo Celso could be set to depart Tottenham Hotspur after being left out of their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea as boss Antonio Conte is set for a busy end to the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old declared on Instagram that he was in '100 per-cent good physical condition' and it is understood the club have been exploring a swap deal for the Argentina midfielder, according to The Athletic.

Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli all missed out on the matchday squad to increase speculation surrounding their futures with Spurs, especially with 20-year-old midfielder Harvey White being named on the bench.
