Giovanni Lo Celso, who was a crucial element of current Barcelona manager Quique Setien’s Real Betis team that qualified for Europe, now finds himself flourishing at the heart of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham.
The Argentine was not the first choice under Mauricio Pochettino after making a high-profile summer loan move to London, with Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko staying ahead in the pegging order. But it appears that his stock has risen under Jose Mourinho, with the club making the move permanent in January and handed him a five-year-contract.
Mourinho has placed his faith in Lo Celso, starting him more often than not.
