TOTTENHAM have signed Giovani Lo Celso on permanent deal until 2025 – as Christian Eriksen finally completed his move to Inter Milan.
Jose Mourinho pulled the trigger on the £45million option to make the Argentine’s loan deal permanent – with the news shared on Spurs’ Twitter.

Almost simultaneously, the Serie A giants confirmed they had signed Eriksen in a £17m deal after weeks of negotiations.
In two separate posts, two minutes apart, Spurs revealed: “We are delighted to announce that we have exercised the option to convert the loan of @LoCelsoGiovani from Real Betis to a permanent transfer.
“Gio has signed a contract with the Club until 2025.”
They added: “We can confirm the departure of Christian Eriksen who has today completed a transfer to Inter Milan.
“We wish you all the best for the future, @ChrisEriksen8.”
Meanwhile, on their own Twitter, Inter added: “ANNOUNCEMENT: Milano: your elegance is about to meet its match.”
Eriksen, 27, joins the San Siro side on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
The Danish star was all-but frozen out under Mauricio Pochettino and Mourinho as he made it obvious he wanted a new challenge.
And on Monday, Eriksen gave Inter fans a cheeky thumbs up and even posed for selfies after completing his deal with the Italian giants.
Inter Milan have been busy this month, signing Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea – while chasing another Blues star, Olivier Giroud.
Lo Celso, on the other hand, has played 20 times in all competitions this season, scoring twice and generally impressing when given the chance.
