Villarreal have reportedly won the race to secure a deal for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
While the playmaker has made a total of 17 appearances in all competitions this season, just two starts have been made in the Premier League.
With head coach Antonio Conte intent on bringing in fresh faces, it has been widely suggested that the Argentina international would be one of the players sacrificed to accommodate their arrivals.
Despite interest from French side Lyon, talkSPORT says that Villarreal are on the brink of signing the 25-year-old.
Although Lo Celso is expected to move to the Yellow Submarine on a loan deal, it is unclear whether the La Liga outfit will possess an option to purchase the player on a permanent basis.
Lo Celso has played the best football of his career in Spain’s top flight, chipping in with nine goals from 32 outings during a loan spell at Real Betis in 2018-19.
