Yeah, as others have said, the great thing about Lo Celso is his versatility. We could either play him behind Eriksen, instead of him or alongside him. It would also mean the onus to create wouldn't be placed squarely on Eriksen's shoulders and Kane wouldn't need to drop so deep all the time.Surely we can't go into another season with just Eriksen as a no.10 option. If he stays he needs to be rotated to prevent burn out and challenged if performances dip. Lo Celso is also more mobile which much be more effective against certain types of opposition. They could even play together in some games. Personally think Lamela should probably go due to lack of fitness over a season
Without him, however, I feel we'll still struggle a bit to create from midfield and control games against big teams, especially when Eriksen is injured or having an off day.
Regarding the bloated squad issue - this may be the case for a bit but surely Wanyama will either be sold or phased out, Sissoko is almost 30 and Winks has injury issues. I think Lo Celso would still get tons of game time, and it would only increase with each season.
