Giovani Lo Celso was the toast of the Tottenham fans after his display lit up an otherwise unconvincing 2-1 win over Norwich City this evening.
The loan signing from Real Betis produced – by some distance – his best display in a Spurs shirt, playing a role in both goals either side of Teemu Pukki’s penalty which had threatened to extend our winless run to six.

It was an all-round performance which suggested that Lo Celso may have a long-term future as one of two midfielders in the double pivot, a role which had previously looked beyond him in the ultra-physical Premier League.
There was a clear message from Spurs fans on Twitter – “sign him up”.
Jose Mourinho confirmed to Football London last week that Spurs are likely to make Lo Celso’s move permanent – which would cost around £27m on top of a £24m loan fee, according to The Sun.
On tonight’s evidence he would be worth every penny.
