Tottenham Hotspur has seen the stock of midfielder Giovani Lo Celso rise during the 26-year-old’s loan stint with Villarreal. The 26-year-old played a role in The Yellow Submarine reaching the UEFA Champions League semifinals since his arrival in January.
When Spurs offloaded some players during the winter transfer window, the north London club hoped that they would increase their value Lo Celso and Bryan Gil appeared to raise their stock while out on loan.
Villarreal wants to keep Lo Celso past this season, but the Spanish club reportedly has competition for the Argentine. According to Todofichajes, Sevilla is interested in the midfielder, who would fetch a significant fee to improve the squad.
Furthermore, Sevilla and Spurs do have a working relationship; like last summer, the two parties swung a deal for Gil and Erik Lamela, so it’s not far-fetch to consider them as a possible suitor for Lo Celso this summer.
The report states that Spurs value the midfielder at €25-million, but there’s no firm offer yet from Sevilla.
