Lo Celso is going to be a very special signing for Tottenham. Even Ian Wright had no choice but to admit it, and so this season, I’m going to be grateful for the glimpses we get of the player we will hopefully be wowed by every week, come the 2020/21 season.
Successful pass completion rate of 80.4%, which is good, but not great, thanks to the extremely effective Leipzig press. Giovani is a naturally attacking player, just 7 backwards passes all game. The Argentine recovered the ball 8 times, and created 3 assists.
Negatives: only 1 out of 8 crosses were successful (6 of these were actual corners), and the 23-year-old was dispossessed twice.
