Xavi Tests Waters for Potential Lo Celso Transfer Amid Gavi’s Injury Woes
In a strategic move seen as a litmus test for his standing within the club’s hierarchy, Xavi is reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing in Giovani Lo Celso to address the midfield challenges arising from Gavi’s serious injury. The Argentine midfielder possesses key attributes such as passing, dribbling, long-range shooting, and defensive contributions.
Xavi had identified Lo Celso as a primary transfer target last summer, but both the player and Tottenham Hotspur were inclined to extend his stay. With Lo Celso becoming increasingly pivotal for Spurs, having scored two goals in eight appearances this season amid James Maddison’s injury, Tottenham appears reluctant to part ways with the 27-year-old, as per additional reports.
