Giovani Lo Celso

Giovani Lo Celso is one of the more technically gifted midfielders in the Argentina squad — a player whose close control and ability to find pockets of space between the lines make him a natural fit for Scaloni's system when fit. Injuries have repeatedly interrupted his career, limiting his impact at Tottenham and complicating his international availability. Back at Real Betis, where he first flourished in Europe, he has rediscovered consistency. For Argentina he is a creative alternative rather than a guaranteed starter, but his ability to unlock defences in tight spaces gives Scaloni a genuine tactical option off the bench.
