Ange Postecoglou’s handling of Giovani Lo Celso at Tottenham has raised questions about the midfielder’s future at the club. Lo Celso has struggled for playing time, with James Maddison being preferred in the attacking midfield role. Despite showing promise in brief appearances, Lo Celso has found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.
After a string of impressive performances, Lo Celso’s opportunities diminished as Tottenham’s injury concerns eased and players returned from international competitions. His limited game time has led to speculation about a potential transfer away from the club. With only 445 Premier League minutes under his belt this season, Lo Celso’s future at Tottenham is uncertain, especially with his contract set to expire in 12 months.
Postecoglou’s decision to overlook Lo Celso in favor of other options reflects the manager’s preferences, signaling that the Argentine midfielder may not feature prominently in the team’s plans moving forward. This has led to speculation about potential suitors for Lo Celso, with Barcelona reportedly among those interested in securing his services. If Lo Celso is once again overlooked in an upcoming match against Nottingham Forest, it could signal the end of his tenure at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The midfielder’s potential departure in the summer transfer window seems increasingly likely, as he seeks regular playing time and an opportunity to showcase his talents at a new club.
