Tottenham Hotspur have tabled a new bid for Real Betis star Giovani Lo Celso, per The Daily Telegraph.
What’s the word?
Spurs are attempting to complete their third senior signing of the transfer window, having already acquired Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon and Jack Clarke from Leeds United. The latter, of course, has been loaned back to the Championship club.
Sources have confirmed to Football FanCast that Spurs are interested in acquiring Lo Celso’s signature and The Telegraph now claims that a new offer has been lodged.
Betis, the report states, are keen to receive a total of £65m for the Argentina international and chairman Daniel Levy has now made a fresh offer closer to that figure. It also says Lo Celso is still considered one of Mauricio Pochettino’s “top targets” this summer.
With the player hopeful of a deal being sorted prior to Thursday’s deadline and the Lilywhites seemingly now following suit with a more appropriate bid, this one could be on the verge of a significant breakthrough.
Haggling
Spurs have haggled for Lo Celso all summer.
The report states that the player wants to make the move and has already informed Betis of that.
Tottenham chairman Levy, though, consistently drives a hard bargain and tries to take moves down to the wire.

That has happened again but the master of the late deal seems to have finally decided it is time to stop playing around and get this deal done.
Time is of course running out, with the transfer deadline coming at 5pm on Thursday.
It appears though that a breakthrough has been found, particularly with Spurs in a rush to get their third deal done.
