Bryan King believes Daniel Levy will accept an offer from Atletico Madrid for Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

The ex-Spurs scout feels that a move to Atletico Madrid makes sense for the 27-year-old.

It comes after Spanish news outlet Fichajes has reported (16 April) that Diego Simeone is keen on bringing the Argentina international to La Liga, with the Madrid-based club ready to make a "ridiculous offer" of £17million.

And King - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - feels that Levy would accept these terms without much thought.

"He doesn't seem to be a first choice for Ange Postecoglou, and if they can sell the player for good money that would make sense," King said.

"Lo Celso has got more chance of getting regular game time with Atletico Madrid than he does in North London.

"I would think that is an offer Tottenham would accept.

"Knowing Levy, if there is a good offer on the table and he can get some money back, that will be the deal done."

Tottenham must sell midfielder Giovani Lo Celso this summer

He is clearly not a big part of Postecoglou's plans, with the Argentinian struggling to get into the first-team, even while James Maddison is not at his best.

Lo Celso will have just one year left on his contract in North London in June, and with a new deal very unlikely, Spurs must sell the player this summer or risk losing him for free.
