This would be a game changer, to put it mildly.
A source close to Tottenham Hotspur tells the Harry Hotspur blog that the Lo Celsoe to Spurs transfer is still very much alive.
It might be a useful moment to remind readers of this recent blog which was published the same day as the rest of the football media were resolutely telling you that the THFC were walking away from talks with Real Betis.
Indeed, the take away from that piece was that the deal wasn’t over and Levy would prefer to get it done sooner rather than later. There was no brinkmanship at play on Tottenham’s side here.
The situation never changed and despite the ‘will he won’t he‘ routine from Christian Eriksen, the suggestion is that Levy has been busting a gut to try and make the last offer he made for Lo Celso workable, EVEN IF Eriksen were to stay.
In a nutshell, if this can be achieved then Lo Celso could be bought sooner than was initially predicted, as there would be no last minute deal dependent upon whatever could be recovered for the Dane.
Yes, Levy busting a gut. And not in some diabolical, macabre way as I might have otherwise envisaged.
