Ex-Arsenal man Unai Emery is more likely to do Antonio Conte & Spurs a big favor now – Our View

Last night, Villarreal achieved something special thanks to an 88th-minute goal against Bayern Munich as they reached the Champions League semi-finals.

Giovani Lo Celso – on loan to Villarreal from Tottenham – shone at the Allianz Arena as former Arsenal tactician Unai Emery mastered the two-leg win.

After Emery Villarreal secured a place in the semifinals, the Yellow Subs are likely to do Antonio Conte a huge favor.

What’s the matter?

Well, as a result of reaching the semi-finals, Villarreal received a prize money of 12.5 million euros (Goal).

In our view, that increases the chances of Lo Celso making a permanent move from Tottenham to Villarreal, which would do Conte a huge favour.

The Argentine seems to have no future in north London under the Italian so it would be best to dump him and spend the money on someone Conte will field.

Villarreal are by no means a wealthy club so the extra £10.4million could be huge in terms of a permanent deal for Lo Celso.

Villarreal will certainly sign Giovani Lo Celso

Villarreal have an option to buy Lo Celso, although no fixed fee has been agreed with Spurs at the moment (the athlete).

However, if they have the resources, Villarreal will certainly sign the 26-year-old as he shone in Spain.

Lo Celso was named Man of the Match in the first leg against Bayern Munich, followed by another fine performance last night.

When who scored Shows, the former Paris Saint-Germain maestro won three free-kicks for his side while also completing two dribbles and a key pass.

Lo Celso has blossomed at Villarreal and after being handed £10.4million the chances of Emery signing him are certainly up.
