Tottenham great Ardiles tells Mourinho: Lo Celso can play in several roles

Tottenham great Ossie Ardiles has told manager Jose Mourinho he can utilise Giovani Lo Celso in several positions.

Ardiles is proud seeing his fellow Argentine impressing at Spurs.

And he stated: "He can play in a number of positions in midfield, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, he uses his left foot more but he's very comfortable on the right as well. So basically, he can play in any position in midfield.

"In fact, he can play the holding, defensive midfield position as well, he already has done this season. For me, his ideal position is he when he has freedom, he can go forward and attack players. If he has space, he'll attack it immediately and that produces space for other players.

"He's very skilful... look, everyone is skilful, but what makes you different is what is in your head, and even though he's very young, I don't want to say he has an older head, but he has a more experienced head on his shoulders. He's a very, very good player and he can go from strength to strength."
