“If they’re here they’ll get an opportunity, that’s all you can offer. Previous exposure here at the club, that’s not really relevant to me – it’s what I see from now on.”
Lo Celso initially joined Tottenham on loan from Real Betis in 2019 before making the deal permanent the following January. He played 38 times in total in his first campaign in English football but has been on a steady decline in opportunities since.
Former Spurs right-back Alan Hutton said earlier this month that it was time his old club looked at replacing the midfielder. He told football.london: “It’s going to be very difficult to fill the void Maddison leaves. I think the likes of Lo Celso, can he do it? I’m not sure.
“I think he’s had enough opportunities. He’s needed at this moment in time, but I don’t think he’ll ever be your go-to guy.”
