# Tottenham: Alasdair Gold shares Giovani Lo Celso update

**According to reliable Tottenham correspondent [Alasdair Gold](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1485523303854977031?s=21), Sevilla are keen on signing Giovani Lo Celso over the coming days.**

### The Lowdown: Chelsea exclusion

Hailed as [‘magnificent’](https://mobile.twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1364234181434294272) by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, the Argentine has made just [10](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovani-lo-celso/leistungsdaten/spieler/348795) starts in all competitions this season.

Antonio Conte decided to leave him out of the matchday squad against Chelsea on Sunday, with the 25-year-old taking to [Instagram](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-giovani-lo-celso-chelsea-antonio-conte-b978287.html) to clarify that he was 100% fit for the trip to Stamford Bridge.

It now seems as if Lo Celso could be the latest player to seal an exit from north London before the end of the month, which could leave Conte short of midfield options if reinforcements don’t arrive.

### The Latest: Sevilla interested in Lo Celso

[Gold](https://twitter.com/alasdairgold/status/1485523303854977031?s=21) took to Twitter on Sunday to share a link to a [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/paratici-tottenham-traore-mckennie-celso-22848517) story. He covered a range of topics, including the future of Lo Celso, who he revealed is wanted by Sevilla.

The journalist said in his tweet: “A piece on Antonio Conte’s Spurs selection calls at Chelsea and the final week of the transfer window, including the decision on Lo Celso who I understand Sevilla are keen to sign, Paratici’s love of Weston McKennie and Traore, plus Ndombele, Dele & more.”

### The Verdict: Midfielders needed

Should Lo Celso move to Sevilla and [Tanguy Ndombele](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/17413756/tottenham-psg-ndombele-wijnaldum-transfer/) and [Dele Alli](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/dele-alli-tottenham-transfer-news-26026381) also depart following recent rumours, Conte would be left with just Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks as [central midfield options](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/kader/verein/148).

The trio all [started](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3592056) in the dramatic 3-2 win over Leicester City last week, so the club will need to bring in reinforcements before Monday’s deadline, possibly exploring swap deals as [mentioned](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/17413756/tottenham-psg-ndombele-wijnaldum-transfer/).

One midfielder who has [reportedly](https://insidefutbol.com/2022/01/23/fabio-paratici-achieves-breakthrough-but-player-snubs-tottenham-hotspur-move/545573/) snubbed Spurs is Franck Kessie, and if the club struggles to bring anyone else in, then perhaps it could make sense to keep at least one of the three linked with a late January exit.
