There are already 5 years under the direction of Lionel Scaloni and 10 assists that Rosario has given in this period
Only Leo Messi with 14 assists surpasses his mark
Despite missing the World Cup in Qatar due to an early injury, the Argentine midfielder John LoCelso (Rosario, 1996) is the second best assistant of the Scaloni era in the Argentine team.
In the last period of the Albiceleste, the player who belongs to Tottenham but who was on loan at Villarreal this season, got ten passes on goal after taking a corner kick that the defender Cristian Romero became the final 2-0 against the Indonesian team who was acting as local in Jakarta city.
Lo Celso’s left foot is once again one of the most dangerous weapons of the Argentine team. There are already 5 years under the guidance of Lionel Scaloni and 10 assists that Rosario has given in this period. In fact, only Leo Messi with 14 assists surpasses his mark.
Argentina has a luxurious midfield, taking into account the raids of Enzo Fernandez and Alexis MacAllister in the World Cup, as well as the outstanding role of other teammates in midfield, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes and Guido Rodríguez. However, prior to his injury the Spurs player was expected to be a fixture in the starting eleven and his current form once again positions him as a firm candidate to reclaim that starring role. In fact, against Indonesia, he was one of the best on the pitch.
Lo Celso is considered one of the highest quality members of the Argentine team. At the moment he continues to belong to Tottenham and we will have to wait to understand what his immediate future is. There are several options on the table: he could try again in the Premier League where he has a contract with Spurs until 2025, or even go on loan or move to one of the clubs that have shown interest in him in recent weeks: they dreamed of the Aston strength Villa, Betis, Villarreal where he left a good taste in the mouth of both Quique Setién and the fans and even Barça himself.
