Speaking to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur 'insider' John Wenham has shared what he's 'heard' from his sources about Lilywhites midfielder Giovani Lo Celso after he completed a loan move to Villarreal.

The Lowdown: Lo Celso in temporary stint...

The 25-year-old cut a bit-part figure under Antonio Conte at Spurs before completing his temporary switch to La Liga, with Fabio Paratici helping to clear some deadwood out of the squad.

Despite shining on the international stage under Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni, Lo Celso hasn't quite managed to replicate that form at club level for Spurs. As such, the club saw fit to let him join Villarreal on loan until the end of 2021/22 with an option to buy, as N17 insider Wenham now shares what he's 'heard' about the player in a damning claim.

The Latest: Wenham rips into Lo Celso...

Speaking to Football Insider, the insider said that people within the club have questioned Lo Celso's poor attitude, which 'stinks' according to Wenham.

He said of the Argentine: "I don’t think he will return to Tottenham. His move has been a disaster.

“For the money we spent, what positive memories do I have of him? There was goal against Man City but apart from that I have nothing to look back on.

“He had the same impact as someone you pick up for £3million, not your second-most expensive ever signing.

“He was constantly injured and all I’ve heard from people at the club is that his attitude stinks.

“So I’m pleased he has moved on.”

The Verdict: Second chance?

Depending on whether Villarreal trigger his purchase option, Lo Celso could prove useful for Conte in future campaigns if he manages to recapture his club form in Spain.

However, that is a big if, with Tottenham's £27.2m permanent signing of the South American in 2020 now looking like a questionable piece of business.

In hindsight, it would have perhaps been best to keep him on loan for the remainder of the 2019/20 campaign instead of activating his permanent clause.
