Tottenham target Giovani Lo Celso is the perfect replacement for Christian Eriksen and could even be an upgrade on the Danish star, talkSPORT has been told.
The 23-year-old Real Betis playmaker is reportedly attempting to force through a move to White Hart Lane this summer, with Spurs having had two official bids rejected by the Spanish club.

Giovani Lo Celso has starred for Real Betis this season and is wanted by Tottenham
Lo Celso joined Real Betis on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in August but his form – 16 goals and six assists in 46 games – saw the Spanish club make the move permanent, announcing in April they had triggered a clause to sign him for around £20million at the end of the season.
It is thought he could leave without playing another game.
Betis will not sell on the cheap, though, with the player’s new contract reportedly featuring an £88m buy-out clause.
Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen’s fate is uncertain ahead of the transfer window.

The Denmark international’s current contract expires at the end of next season, and he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid amid reports he is refusing to sign a new one.
But, if he does leave, South America-based football journalist Tim Vickery believes Tottenham will have already-made replacement if they land Lo Celso.
And, with the young star hailing from the same area of Argentina as manager Mauricio Pochettino, he believes Spurs will be his likely destination.
“I watched Lo Celso all the way up for Rosario Central in Argentina – he’s a wonderful playmaker with a lovely left foot,” he told talkSPORT’s Extra Time.

“He’s almost like an old-fashioned Tottenham midfielder. I think Spurs fans would love him.
“You could see him in the side if Eriksen moves on, as an Eriksen replacement, and actually I think he has one or two advantages over Eriksen.
“He doesn’t have the set pieces of Eriksen, but I think he’s more dynamic.
“I wonder if Eriksen is capable of being a Real Madrid player. I’m not totally convinced that he is, I suspect he has found his level.

“I think Lo Celso might offer a little bit more, a bit more dynamism in the midfield.
“He’s too good for Betis and they clearly want to make a profit on him. They had him on loan first and bought him for €30m.
“I would imagine a summer-long poker game between Betis and [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy, who doesn’t spend his money without putting up a fight.
“I think he’s a terrific player and it would be a great response to the challenge Pochettino has thrown down after reaching the Champions League final with barely a midfield.
“He comes from a similar zone of Argentina as Pochettino, too.
“Pochettino is from a little village called Murphy and Lo Celso is from the capital of that state, Rosario. They also share Italian heritage, so you could imagine them striking up a bond.”
