Giovani Lo Celso has had a bit of a Tottenham renaissance over the past few months.

The Argentine was well and truly out of the picture at Spurs under Antonio Conte, but now, he’s back in the side and shining.

Two assists against Bournemouth at the weekend further underlined his return to form, and speaking on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, Alasdair Gold has noted that it’s not just on the pitch where Lo Celso has changed.

Indeed, according to Gold, staff at Tottenham have been saying how different Lo Celso seems behind the scenes now, claiming that he’s integrating more into the main social groups and even starting to speak more English.

Lo Celso seems different

Gold shared what he’s heard about the midfielder.

“He kind of stuck within the South American clique I guess, I don’t think he settled fully. He’s 27 now and he was 23 when he signed, he’s a dad now, much more mature. Behind the scenes a lot of people have said they’ve seen a very different Gio this season, he’s come back willing to be a big part of thing, he’s using his English a lot more, even in the videos, they never used to contain Gio, but now he’s in there and chatting away,” Gold said.

Lo Celso has a future at Tottenham

It’s incredible to say it after so much time out in the cold, but it genuinely does feel as though Lo Celso may have a future at Spurs now.

The midfielder is finally shining on the pitch, and it sounds as though he’s genuinely settling behind the scenes too.

He probably won’t be a key player for much longer once James Maddison returns, but Lo Celso has more than proven in recent weeks that he’s a useful member of the squad who can have a part to play over the next few seasons.

Let’s hope that Lo Celso can continue to improve and show his worth on the pitch for Spurs.
