Tottenham want a Pau Torres swap deal

Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso🐟 is currently on loan with Torres’ club Villarreal and cou𒁃ld apparently hold the key to landing the defender.

A potential barrier to Lo Celso joining the Champions League semi-finalists is the differentꦦ budgets in the Premier League and La Liga.

But perhaps a compromise could be found which would also leave Tottenha♔m with enough budget to spend on the rest of their squad.

The release clause of Torreꦗs sits somewhere between the £47m and £53m mark, which is affordable for Tottenham but it is probably right at that top end and would not leave huge amounts for much else.

If Lo Celso cou🥀ld get the outlay down, that would be a boost.

That said, there may be some fans who think that if Conte really has personal🅠ly 🦂requested de Vrij, then Daniel Levy should go and get him, giving the Italian players he wants.

Spurs showed what they can do defensiv♋ely with their current personnel in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Anfield, and need a win in tomorrow’s north London derby to keep their Champions League hopes for next season alive.
