Tottenham Hotspur appear to be on the verge of a sensational transfer deadline day, with Giovani Lo Celso and Paulo Dybala both potential incomings.

Real Betis ace Lo Celso is thought to be in London to undergo a medical after the clubs reportedly stuck a deal worth £55 million (Guardian).

Sky in Italy reported a couple of days ago that Spurs had agreed a £64 million deal with Juventus for Dybala’s transfer.

However, BBC Sport’s David Ornstein is now reporting Juventus have decided not to sell.

Lo Celso has been chased for most of the summer and is a deal most Tottenham fans would expect to see completed – but the Dybala links really came out of the blue.

One man who would arguably would have been the biggest loser at Spurs if both Lo Celso and Dybala joined, is Lucas Moura.

The Brazilian has just enjoyed a brilliant pre-season, but would be looking at more time on the bench if the pair signed.

Heung-min Son would play wide left for Spurs, and Lo Celso would theoretically compete with Dele Alli to play centrally.

Dybala – although a deal now looks to be off – can play central attacking midfield, wide right and up top, meaning Moura’s starting prospects would have really suffered.

Moura arguably deserves regular game time at Spurs and may secretly be hoping Ornstein’s information about Dybala is correct.
