Tottenham Hotspur still have a lot of work to do in the final days of the summer transfer season.
Spurs appear to be seeking for reinforcements up front following Harry Kane’s departure from the club.
Furthermore, Spurs have not had many outgoings this summer. In fact, N17 is only four moves away.
Kane and Harry Winks have been sold, Joe Rodon has been loaned away, and Lucas Moura has been released.
Several players with uncertain futures, including Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso, remain at Spurs for the time being.
Rudy Galetti has now provided an update on the latter player, saying Tottenham remain in talks with Real Betis over a move.
Taking to Twitter, the journalist says the Spaniard are “still trying to understand if there are margins for a loan move with buy option”.
Player-side, Lo Celso is apparently “pushing for his return” to the club he left to join Tottenham years ago.
As for Spurs, they’re reportedly open to letting the Argentine go. But so far, they’d only do it on a loan with obligation – rather than option – to buy.
Our view
For a while, it looked like a Lo Celso remontada was on the cards at Tottenham.
He featured in pre-season under new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou and looked good. This sparked hopes of a return to the squad.

However, we’ve returned to type, speculation once again linking Lo Celso with a move away from Spurs.
The Spurs playmaker is very highly rated by a lot of his peers. He will no doubt shine elsewhere, as he already has done out on loan.
Former Villarreal teammate Geronimo Rulli previously deemed him ‘one of the best players in the world’.
Let’s hope Lo Celso’s future is finally decided once and for all. A loan with obligation to buy would be ideal for both the player and Spurs.
