Man City eyeing Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso

Manchester City are eyeing Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

The Manchester Evening News says City are monitoring Lo Celso's situation this summer with the midfielder primed for a move away from Real Betis.

City boss Pep Guardiola will assess the 23-year-old's performances for Argentina at this summer's Copa America, as Tottenham and Atlético Madrid also vie for his services.

Spurs are believed to have had an offer of €60million (£52.8m) rejected, with Betis, whose 10th-placed league finish denied them of European football next season, of the belief that they can recoup more money from City or Atlético.

At City, Lo Celso is viewed as a potential replacement for David Silva.
