Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham news could spell the end for a Spurs star
Ange Postecoglou’s continued oversight of Giovani Lo Celso at Tottenham could potentially lead the Argentine to consider a transfer exit from the club. Despite James Maddison’s underwhelming performance in attacking midfield, Lo Celso has struggled for playing time and may seek opportunities elsewhere. Postecoglou’s statement following the Cherries game acknowledged Lo Celso’s recent strong performance, but his chances have diminished as Spurs’ injury concerns eased and players returned from AFCON and the Asian Cup. Maddison’s struggles in an advanced midfield role did not sway Postecoglou, who opted to stick with him until the 70th minute in a recent match and brought on another player when the change was made.
Lo Celso’s limited playing time and potential snub against Nottingham Forest may indicate his future departure from Tottenham, particularly as he approaches the final year of his contract. Reports suggest that top-four chasers are prepared to move Lo Celso on, with Barcelona among his previous suitors. Another omission from the starting XI against Forest could further support these claims, leaving Lo Celso with limited opportunities despite his competitors’ shortcomings.
