Tottenham Hotspur want to hand Erik Lamela a new contract, as per Sky Sports Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio.

Lamela’s current deal runs until next summer but Tottenham are trying to work out a contract that would run until 2021 or 2022 as our club must avoid losing him for free.

The 26-year-old winger has always been a favourite of our manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who should prepare a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title in the upcoming season. And Spurs’ reported contract offer suggests that Pochettino is keen to utilize his compatriot next term despite signing Lucas Moura in January.

Signed from AS Roma back in 2013, Lamela has failed to live up to the billing at Spurs, often showing glimpses of his talent. The Argentine has spent most of his time on the treatment table but was able to keep himself fit to some extent last season. He made 25 Premier League appearances but was largely used as a substitute by Pochettino.

When fully fit and running, Lamela is an exciting player and a treat to watch. He is a tireless worker on and off the ball which is why he is such a valuable asset to Pochettino and our club.
