Tottenham and Everton in transfer battle for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso
The Argentina star, 23, had a permanent move to the Spanish side triggered, but they will consider cashing in this summer
TOTTENHAM and Everton are eyeing Real Betis ace Giovani Lo Celso.
The Argentina star, 23, had a permanent move to the Spanish side triggered.
However, they will consider cashing in this summer.
Lo Celso has been one of the top performers in La Liga this season during his loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
That has sparked interest from domestic rivals and the Premier League.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is in the market for midfielders after Mousa Dembele’s departure in January.
There is also some uncertainty over Christian Eriksen’s future.
Everton are also now tracking Lo Celso as they look to build on Marco Silva’s first season at Goodison Park.
Betis got him for £21.5million when they took up their option to buy — but could seek to double that fee.
