The future of Tottenham duo Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett is uncertain as the transfer window approaches its end. Manager Ange Postecoglou has cast doubt on their stay at the club just days before the start of the Premier League season. This comes on the heels of Dominic Solanke’s arrival at Spurs, raising questions about the attacking pair’s future.
The team is gearing up for their final pre-season game against Bayern Munich, following a defeat to the same opponents in Asia. This match serves as their last preparation before facing Leicester City on August 19. Lo Celso, in particular, has struggled to make an impact since returning late from Copa America. Having played a key role for Argentina in the final, he has yet to feature for Tottenham this season.
With his contract expiring next summer, Lo Celso’s future at the club is uncertain under Postecoglou’s management. Despite making 22 league appearances last season, he started only four games, mainly due to injuries in the squad. Scarlett, on the other hand, has also faced challenges in securing a regular spot in the team.
Although Scarlett signed a contract extension with Tottenham last season, his playing time has been limited. He failed to make an impact during a loan spell at Ipswich and has struggled to make an impression in the first team. Both players were left out of the squad for the match against Bayern, raising further speculation about their future at the club.
Postecoglou opted to field other midfielders over Lo Celso, indicating a potential departure for the Argentine midfielder. Scarlett, too, has found himself on the fringes of the team, with limited opportunities to showcase his talents. As the transfer window deadline approaches, their futures at Tottenham remain uncertain.
