After an excellent second season in Serie A with Roma, Erik Lamela has been widely acclaimed as one of the stars of the future. At only 21 years old the Argentinian is blessed with great guile, pace, skill and fantastic dribbling. Spurs have been heavily linked with Lamela as a direct replacement for Bale and while Lamela isn’t an out and out striker, he is very similar to Suarez in playing style and physique and can play up top.

Lamela has 2 caps for Argentina and has just completed his second season with Roma after a big money move from River Plate. 15 goals in 33 games is no mean feat, but I suppose question marks could be raised over whether he is ready to lead the line for us. I expect Lamela to stay at Roma for the next season at least, but certainly keep your eyes on this young man.
