The midfielder has not got off to the best start in the Premier League. He did not manage to play at all in the first five games of the season so far. Mauricio Pochettino is not counting on him and could look for a departure.
The main candidate to incorporate him in their ranks is his ex-team from a few seasons ago, Celtic. The Scottish club's first option is to try and sign him in the winter transfer window, which opens in January.
In fact, the coach of the team confirmed in comments to 'CelticTV', the official media channel of the club, that it is the intention that they have in a few months time. In this way, the player could return soon to Scotland.
There is where he enjoyed his best performance of his career. He ended up playing 49 matches in which he started 47 and even ended up scoring nine goals. He has figures which have still not been matched since he left.
