Aston Villa is reportedly ready to make a formal offer for Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso ahead of the summer transfer window. The Argentinean midfielder has been deemed surplus to requirements at Spurs, with the club loaning him out to Villarreal for the last two seasons. Lo Celso has proven to be a solid midfielder during his loan spells, making 15 appearances in the league with a goal and two assists this campaign. With Villa manager Unai Emery having worked alongside the midfielder at Villarreal, the club sees the 27-year-old as a top target and a potential fit for their midfield next season. Lo Celso’s pedigree as a footballer is impressive, having received 42 caps for Argentina, while also tallying 55 outings in the Premier League, making him an attractive option for Villa. With midfield depth being a vital component to any successful campaign, Emery will look to add this “exciting” player to his squad as he looks to guide the club to European football next season.
