Tottenham fans might be forgiven into thinking that we don’t really have a lot of options in the wide areas. But there is some good news coming in from Sky Sports, which claims that our Argentine winger Erik Lamela could return to action after the next international break, in October.
Lamela has been on the treatment table due to a hip problem and even had surgey which greatly reduced his time on the pitch. He has already started taking part in the team’s training sessions.
This is great news, to be honest, as we have a lot of work ahead of us this season and Lamela could provide the likes of Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen a break in our cup games and some league games.
Our fans might not have had a lot to celebrate regarding the signing of attackers in the summer window, apart from Fernando Llorente, but they certainly were excited with the return of Lamela and here are some of the best reactions from Twitter.
If Lamela plays before Oct 25 I’ll change my avatar to a cock for a year

Lamela has to be the most debated decent squad player in Spurs history IMO

Lamela back for mid October would be fantastic. A real opportunity for him to showcase his worth again, like a new signing. #COYS

Actually cannot wait for Lamela to return. Even if he’s dog shite he still has to be better than Sissoko
