A battle for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso is raging between West Ham United and Real Betis in the final stretch of the transfer market. According to the latest news from Sky Sports, West Ham United have officially expressed their interest in Lossesso to Tottenham and made an inquiry about it. However, Real Betis seem to have the upper hand in the race as they are in advanced talks with Lo Celso and his agent.
Lo Celso's transfer move has attracted the attention of several teams, especially those looking to bolster their midfield. Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, who worked with Lo Celso during his time at Villarreal, spoke highly of the Argentine international's ability and expressed a strong interest in Lo Celso early in the transfer window.
According to the latest report from renowned transfer journalist Romano, Real Betis are still in close contact with Lo Celso and his team, and the negotiation process is ongoing. However, Tottenham Hotspur are not satisfied with the current terms of the deal, which has become one of the key factors in the transfer's success. Spurs are hoping to secure a more reasonable transfer fee or deal for the midfielder, who is under contract until 2025.
The 28-year-old Lo Celso's performance at Tottenham last season was not spectacular, but he still contributed two goals and two assists to the team in his limited playing time, showing his technical characteristics and game impact. With the transfer window gradually closing, Lo Celso himself has also expressed a strong will to leave the team, hoping to find a new home before the end of the summer window.
