Tottenham Hotspur could sell Erik Lamela in the summer transfer window, according to Football.London.

Lamela is popular within Tottenham and loves the Premier League club, according to the report.

The report has added that both Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho have been fans of the Argentina international during their time at Tottenham.

However, with only a year left on his current contract, Spurs could reportedly decide to sell the 29-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.

Lamela has been at Tottenham since 2013.

The former AS Roma star has had injury issues over the years, but this season he has not suffered as much.

However, the Argentina international is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup, despite some outrageous skills that he shows.

Like the rabonas.

The attacker made just five starts and 18 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season.

Lamela was able to score one goal and did not give any assist.

The Argentina international gave one assist in six Europa League games this campaign.

Lamela is essentially a squad player at Tottenham, and it is hard to see him become a regular in the starting lineup under a new manager.
