Giovani Lo Celso having Spurs medical ahead of £55m transfer from Real Betis

Arriving overnight, Lo Celso comes on the final morning of a long summer of speculation.

Mauricio Pochettino has been a long-time fan of the Argentine and watched him become the star man of a well-regarded Real Betis side.

In one season at the La Liga club, Lo Celso hit 16 goals in 45 appearances with a further six assists.

The midfielder, 23, is seen by the club as a replacement for Christian Eriksen, 27, who has declared his desire to leave the capital.

Spurs advanced their interest in him after failing to land Philippe Coutinho.

A loan deal with Barcelona for the wide-man was reportedly agreed on Wednesday, only for the club to be turned down by the former Liverpool ace.
