A look at Gio Lo Celso after his move to Spurs. Straight to the point and first of all; a much better signing/fit for Mauricio Pochettino and his philosophy than Paulo Dybala or Coutinho would've been. Only 23-years-old and with a HUGE ceiling. #THFC

At PSG Lo Celso was badly misused - ie; don't read much into it. Not only given a lack of minutes but also played out of position (as deep lying midfielder). At Betis he has been nothing short of outstanding, and one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe. #THFC

Lo Celso's played as an AMC for majority of the season in a variety of systems, so it offers scope for Spurs. At Betis he had freedom to between centre-midfield, wide positions and as a second striker. Down the final stretch he also featured as a False 9 (Kane alt?) #THFC

Key attribute of Lo Celso's game no doubt his technique w/ major dribbling, one-touch play. Helps unlock deep blocks by not only running at them but also showing a willingness to open up for long-range shots, through balls. Off it he's adept at attacking those half spaces. #THFC

There is also an ability from Lo Celso to drop in deeper, press and help his team regain possession. While not the quickest or strongest, he shows good awareness of when and where
to be at the right moment. No doubt though, he's best when playing through that final third. #THFC

He could provide a great option for Spurs playing just off Kane, be it directly behind/situated in a wide role given license to cut inside and form part of the midfield. It also offers Dele an option to associate with too and progress any Spurs build-up play from Ndombélé. #THFC

In summary this is a magnificent signing for Spurs. I realise there may be disappointment at not getting
more well known names, but make no mistake Lo Celso isn't inferior to Coutinho/Dybala. He's an incredible player in his own right and can be a serious asset in time. #THFC
