Tottenham are one of a number of clubs who are interested in signing Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
Spurs have even made a bid of £53million for the 23-year-old, but the LaLiga club do not want to sell him so cheaply.
If any deal can be struck then it would be sure to smash the north London club’s transfer record, which is the £42million paid for Davinson Sanchez in 2017.

How much is he likely to cost Tottenham?
The Argentina international has a buyout clause of £88million in his contract and Real Betis are thought to want a figure close to that.
Spurs could be looking at a figure double their current transfer record in order to land their man.
Club career so far?
Lo Celso began his career in his native Argentina with Rosario Central before being snapped up by Paris Saint-Germain in 2016 for around £8.5million.
The 23-year-old played an important role for the side in the 2017/18 season where he racked up 48 appearances, playing alongside his idol and ex-Rosario star Angel Di Maria.

Real Betis made Lo Celso’s move permanent in April
He found himself out on loan with Real Betis this season, after a chat with fellow Argentine Lionel Messi about the club and LaLiga.
And Lo Celso impressed the club so much the move was made permanent for £19.8million when they exercised a clause in the agreement.
The midfielder put pen to paper on a four year contract after 15 goals in 41 appearances for the club but could leave without playing another game.
International experience?
Lo Celso has been capped by Argentina 10 times despite holding an Italian passport.
His debut came in November 2017 in a 1-0 win against Russia and he has also been named in their Copa America 2019 squad.

Lo Celso scored 15 goals in all competitions for Real Betis
Where would he fit in at Spurs?
He could be seen as a direct replacement for Christian Eriksen.
The playmaker has been linked with a move away from the north London club with Real Madrid thought to be interested in his signature.
Eriksen is also entering the final year of his contract and may be forced to sell him if he does not renew.
This transfer may be Spurs planning for that eventuality and there are certainly similarities between the players.

Giovani Lo Celso celebrates scoring one of his many goals for Real Betis
Lo Celso is very gifted technically and also has an eye for goal. He loves to attack and has a fantastic range of passing, much like Eriksen.
His superb close control allows him to dribble beyond opponents and makes him fairly resistant to the press, which will aid a light Spurs central midfield.
Meanwhile, he’s not afraid to do the dirty work either, which might be the reason Mauricio Pochettino is so hot on him.
