Fiorentina seek loan deal for Tottenham Hotspur attacker

During a board meeting held on Thursday evening, Fiorentina’s supremos have reportedly added Tottenham Hotspur’s Erik Lamela to their list of potential transfer targets.

The young Argentine is apparently unhappy with his role at the London outfit and could be tempted to move back to Italy.

La Nazione reports that the Viola will try and arrange a loan deal along with an option to buy the 21-year-old outright at the end of the current season.

Inter and AC Milan also seem interested in the former Roma player’s services, but Fiorentina are not willing to enter an auction should they face stiff competition in sealing his signature.

Lamela has made only six league appearances for Spurs this term, and the club are considering sending the youngster out on loan until season’s end.
