Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he’s keeping an eye on Giovani Lo Celso.
Lo Celso was named man of the match as Villarreal beat Bayern Munich 1-0 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday night.
Conte revealed he was happy for the Argentine midfielder but said the club made the right decision to allow him to leave in January, and suggested he was not suited to the Premier League.
“I’m really happy for his great performance,” Conte said. “He needed to play with regularity, with continuity. For this reason he went to Spain in a league he knows very well because he played very well and Tottenham bought him when he played in that league.
“To go back there and show he’s in good form is good for everybody, especially because Tottenham paid a lot of money for him. I am very happy because he is playing every game, he’s showing he’s a good player but I never said he’s not a good player.
“I said this league is a very difficult league because it is not enough to have great quality and it’s important to play with great intensity and strength. But now he is playing with regularity and I am very happy for him, also Gil, they are playing very well in Spain. Also the club did the right choice, yes.”
