He is a fantastic player: Postecoglou raves about Spurs player who made just six starts all season
Tottenham Hotspur remains in the hunt for a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, with their recent draw against West Ham keeping them in contention.
Aston Villa’s loss to Manchester City also aids Spurs’ chances, especially considering they have played one game less than Villa.
Next up for Tottenham is a home clash against Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Ahead of the match, manager Ange Postecoglou discussed various topics, including Giovani Lo Celso’s playing time.
Giovani Lo Celso has faced challenges at Tottenham this season, making only six starts across all competitions and accumulating just 544 minutes of game time.
Despite spending time on loan at Villarreal, Lo Celso returned to Spurs, where Postecoglou gave him a chance during pre-season.
Although injuries have hampered his season, with 10 matches missed due to hamstring and muscle issues, Lo Celso hasn’t been a regular starter.
Postecoglou acknowledged that injuries disrupted his rhythm but praised his contributions, highlighting his impact in crucial moments.
Postecoglou emphasized that Lo Celso’s situation isn’t unique, as other players have faced similar challenges. He reiterated the competitiveness of playing for a big club like Tottenham, where squad rotation is inevitable.
Despite Lo Celso’s reduced game time, Postecoglou valued his contributions and stressed the importance of perspective.
While Lo Celso has seen an improvement in playing time compared to earlier in the season, his status as a fringe player at 27 years old suggests he may consider a move in the summer to prioritize regular game time and advance his career.
