Rumour: Tottenham Hotspur flop Eric Lamela set to return to Serie A

Eric Lamela against Manchester City

Italian giants Juventus are set to hand Eric Lamela an escape route out of White Hart Lane after a tumultuous start to his Tottenham Hotspur career. Other Italian clubs like Napoli and Inter Milan have also been linked with the winger.

The Argentine arrived in North London in a club record transfer fee only this summer, but has failed to make any notable impact yet. He has started only 3 games in the Premier League so far, and looks out of sorts to say the least.

The 21-year old had made a name for himself with AS Roma last season, scoring 15 and assisting 5 which subsequently earned him his dream move to England. He is still very well regarded in Italy, as is evident with the interest he is still receiving from several renowned Italian clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to earn a return on their investment, and might persist with the young midfielder, unless one of the Italian clubs make an offer they cannot refuse.
