Giovani Lo Celso's Villarreal Champions League success can impact Tottenham's big transfer plans

Bayern Munich will be keeping a very close eye on Giovani Lo Celso on Tuesday evening in their Champions League quarter-final second leg tie against Villarreal. Meeting in Spain one week ago, the Argentina international played a major role in the Yellow Submarines securing a 1-0 win to take into the return game at the Allianz Arena.

Lo Celso was at the heart of the move that saw former Bournemouth man Arnaut Danjuma net the winner at Estadio de la Ceramica, notably linking up with Gerard Moreno before Dani Parejo's shot from his pass was swept home by the Dutchman. The Tottenham midfielder had a major say on the European tie and duly came out with the man of the match award following his performance.

On the lips of all Tottenham fans as a result after sparkling for Villarreal, he also dominated the headlines both in Spain and in his home country. Described by Argentine publication Ole as a "giant" and an "absolute figure" on the pitch, they also commented that he had an "enormous game".
