“We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the season-long loan signing of Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis Balompié with an option to make the transfer permanent,” the club said in a statement on Thursday evening.
“Capped 19 times by Argentina to date, Giovani impressed in Spain last season, scoring 16 times in 45 appearances in all competitions before his loan was made into a permanent transfer.”
Lo Celso is Tottenham’s third signing of the summer, after the earlier arrivals of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon and Jack Clarke from Leeds United.
