On a day when Inter Milan have announced the signing of Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs had something exciting to offer to their fans as well.

The north London club have confirmed today that they have exercised the option to sign Giovani Lo Celso permanently from Real Betis.

Many Spurs fans took to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction after the club broke the news. Here are some of the selected tweets:
