Tottenham want to use Giovani Lo Celso in swap talks for potential signings before the market closes.

The Athletic reports Lo Celso could be set to depart Tottenham Hotspur after being left out of their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea as boss Antonio Conte prepares for a busy end to the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old declared on Instagram that he was in "100 per-cent good physical condition" and it is understood the club have been exploring a swap deal for the Argentina midfielder, according to The Athletic.

Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli all missed out on the matchday squad to increase speculation surrounding their futures with Spurs, especially with 20-year-old midfielder Harvey White being named on the bench.

Lo Celso posted on Instagram: "Regarding the questions I received I would like to clear out that I am 100 per cent in good physical condition.

"I have no problem and I feel very well."

Lo Celso, who is contracted until June 2025, has made just nine Premier League appearances for Spurs this season.
