3 Players Tottenham need to sign this summer

#3 Giovani Lo Celso

Real Betis Balompie v FC Barcelona - La Liga

With Christian Eriksen entering the final year of his contract and no sign of him signing an extension, Tottenham will likely be forced to sell, to avoid losing him on a free next year. But with Eriksen one of the Lilywhites' most important players and their chief creator, a worthy replacement is absolutely essential.

Lo Celso, by all accounts, had a phenomenal season, picking up 16 goals and 6 assists in all competitions this season. The Argentine initially joined Real Betis on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. However, after he impressed, the Spanish side decided to sign him on a permanent deal.

Likely to be deployed in a similar role to Christian Eriksen, as the more advanced of the midfield players, Lo Celso's already impressive numbers would surely further improve. Tottenham have reportedly had a £53 million bid rejected for Lo Celso, as Betis hold out for his £88 million release clause.
