Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made their move for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, in a transfer that would smash their club record.
According to Matt Davis of BBC Sport, Spurs have made a £53 million bid for the player, as they seek to make their first major signing since the acquisition of Lucas Moura in January 2018.
While the bid is in excess of the record £42 million Tottenham spent to sign Davinson Sanchez from Ajax, it's unlikely to be enough to land the player.
"Lo Celso has a £88 million release clause, and it is understood Betis want to sell him for a fee closer to that amount," Davis said.
