TOTTENHAM are expected to make Giovani Lo Celso’s loan move a permanent one for a cut-price fee in January, according to reports.
The Argentine joined in the summer but has yet to set the Premier League alight having been limited to just two Premier League starts.
But there have been glimpses in a Spurs shirt to show why the 23-year-old could become a success under Jose Mourinho.
According to Marca, Spurs have an agreement with parent club Real Betis that they can land him permanently for £27million during the January transfer window.
If they wait until the end of the season that figure will rise to £34m.
The club have already forked out £15m in fees so far to lure him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Injuries hampered his immediate impact in north London having arrived on the back of nine league goals in Spanish top division.
Boss Mourinho will be in the market to bolster his side this month and eyes a move for West Brom’s 19-year-old full-back Nathan Ferguson.
The youngster has starred for Slaven Bilic’s promotion chasing men this season but with his contract up in the summer, the Baggies could be forced to cash in this month.
Ferguson can play on either side of the defence which is also a plus for Mourinho given their first-choice left-back Ben Davies’ proneness to injury.
