Report: Spurs star told to find a new club…Levy also ready to sell £25m player this summer
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to operate on a tight budget this summer. While Nuno Espirito Santo will be given funds to bring in the players of his choice, Spurs are also likely to bolster their transfer kitty by offloading a lot of their fringe players. According to reports from The Athletic, Spurs have informed Erik Lamela, Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko to find new clubs this summer. Lamela joined the north London club in 2013 from AS Roma. He has made over 250 appearances for the club in all competitions, managing 37 goals. The Argentine has been a long servant at the club, but he has never managed to be the focal point for Spurs in all these years, despite his vast potential. He will only be remembered for his flashes of brilliance – most notably the two rabona goals – and not for ...
Report: £80k-per-week Tottenham player set to leave the club this summer

However, Spurs are likely to operate on a tight transfer budget, and player sales are key for boosting the kitty. One player who could leave the club this summer is Erik Lamela. The Argentine is one of the senior members of the squad, but his career in north London has never fully flourished. Apart from scoring some breathtaking goals, Lamela has rarely been consistent for Spurs, with recurrent injuries disrupting his progress. At 29 and wi...

‘A top player’: Paul Robinson urges Tottenham Hotspur to avoid selling 28-year-old attacker
In an interview with Football Insider, Paul Robinson has urged Tottenham Hotspur to keep hold of Erik Lamela even if they make additions to their attacking department this summer. The Argentina international has been with the north London side for nearly seven years and during this period, he has made 214 appearances across all competitions. In the current season, he has managed 27 outings with the capital outfit but only 13 of those appearances have come from the starting lineup.

He has been a top player for Spurs and he has been there a long time,” He told. “He has come on a couple of times this season and really made an impact going forw...
