According to Gazzetta dello Sport (14/08/23, as provided by Sport Witness), Napoli have made significant progress in their negotiations with Tottenham for Giovani Lo Celso.
Lo Celso was one of Tottenham’s standout players during preseason, and Ange Postecoglou has conceded that the Argentine suits the type of play that he wants to impose at the North London side (Football.London).
However, it looks that Napoli are not giving up on the midfielder, with Gazzetta reporting that the Serie A club wants to recruit him on an initial loan with a buy option, similar to the Tanguy Ndombele deal last summer.
Spurs and Napoli have advanced in their Lo Celso negotiations.
In fact, the outlet asserts that talks between Tottenham and the Italian club over Lo Celso are ‘already well advanced’ but they were suspended for a while as the Premier League side were focused on Harry Kane’s sale to Bayern.
It suggested that with the Kane move out of the way, Spurs and Napoli are now set to ‘resume’ their discussions over the 27-year-old in the ‘coming days’.
Spurs Web Opinion
I cannot see Tottenham considering offloading Lo Celso unless the club bring in an attacking midfielder such as Brennan Johnson or Eberechi Eze through the door over the next couple of weeks. As things stand, the Argentine is Ange Postecoglou’s main cover for James Maddison.
