Unfortunately his “first year” was bad after having so much expectations thrown at him. Along with his transfer from Roma, Érik Lamela had to adjust when playing in the Premier League.
If you include having a new living situation in London, it was a lot to take in. After the end of the 2014-15 season, based on his numbers (33 apps, 2 goals, 7 assists), he’s quickly improving. A breakout year isn’t unreasonable to expect, assuming his form continues.
If Tottenham were to sell him, Daniel Levy would want too much money which won’t happen. Also, with no wingers signed, Aaron Lennon not returning and Andros Townsend an unknown, Érik Lamela is automatically staying.
Verdict: Keep
Next: Roberto Soldado
