Spurs midfielder Lo Celso joins Villarreal on loan

Lo Celso spent the second half of last season on loan at Villarreal and has returned after failing to win a place in Antonio Conte's side at the start of the new Premier League campaign.

Tottenham have inserted a break clause into the loan deal that allows them to listen to permanent offers for Lo Celso if they want to sell the 26-year-old in January.

Lo Celso joined Tottenham from Real Betis in 2019 and has made 84 appearances for the north London club. The Argentina international played 22 times for Villarreal last term, helping Unai Emery's team reach the Champions League semi-finals.

"Villarreal CF and Tottenham Hotspur have reached a loan agreement for Giovani Lo Celso, who will return to wear yellow for the current 2022/23 season. The Argentine midfielder has signed his contract with the Spanish club, has passed the medical and will train this Monday under the orders of Unai Emery", reads the text published by Villarreal.
