Giovani Lo Celso sends message to Tottenham fans after joining on loan from Real Betis

One of the summer's longest running transfer sagas has finally come to an end.

Giovani Lo Celso is finally a Tottenham player after intense speculation over a move from Real Betis since the start of June.

The Argentine was always the club's top target after clinching a deal for Tanguy Ndombele at the beginning of July, yet it proved rather tricky to agree on a fee with the Spanish side as they wanted around £70million for their star man.

Well, the Lilywhites finally came to terms with Los Verdiblancos and Lo Celso has joined the club just ahead of the 5pm transfer deadline.

Taking to social media to react to his move to N17, the talented player tweeted: "Really excited to be here."

Lo Celso will be available to make his Tottenham debut on Saturday against Aston Villa providing that he's registered with the Premier League by midday on Friday.
