Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, a former world-class midfielder and one of the most technically gifted players in the world. There’s a midfielder who has left him in awe. Who is it?
It’s Giovani Lo Celso, a midfielder for the Argentina national team and Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL). Spurs and EPL fans may be surprised by Xavi’s reaction. This is because Lo Celso has nothing to show for his time at Tottenham and the EPL.
He moved to Tottenham in 2020. Much was expected of the Argentine international, but he failed to adapt. So, in 2022, he was loaned to Villarreal in the Spanish Primera Liga (La Liga). It was here that Lo Celso’s value began to emerge, and Xavi fell in love with him.안전놀이터
Spain’s Mundo Deportivo wrote: “Xavi is chasing Lo Celso. Xavi’s admiration for Lo Celso is palpable,” reported Mundo Deportivo in Spain.
“Lo Celso impressed during his loan spell at Villarreal,” the publication continued. He was inconsistent in the EPL, but it was different in La Liga. He has proven that he is more suited to the La Liga style. This is the kind of player Xavi wants. We want to sign him in the summer transfer window.”
