Southampton have been linked with a late move for Tottenham Hotspur’s Erik Lamela.

Southampton fans have been reacting on Twitter to the reports coming from the Independent today which have suggested that the Saints are keen on a late deal for Tottenham winger Erik Lamela.

It has been an eventful window at St Mary’s thus far despite the club not doing too many deals heading into the final hours of the window. They have broken both of their transfer records however, with the deals that saw Virgil van Dijk leave for Liverpool and Guido Carrillo come in from Monaco.

And it appears that Mauricio Pellegrino’s side could be about to try and pull off one more deal as the deadline looms. The Independent reports that the Saints have made an enquiry for Spurs’ Lamela.

The Independent hints that Spurs may be willing to consider letting Lamela leave the club in some capacity with Lucas Moura looking set to arrive from Paris Saint-German, and if he becomes Southampton-bound at any stage, a loan deal looks the most likely option.

Lamela has endured a difficult time over the last couple of years having spent much of that period on the sidelines due to injury. And it is perhaps due to his injury record that a number of the Saints fans are not pleased with the rumours at all.

The Argentinian has a lot of quality, but it appears that the Southampton supporters do not want him to sign and feel that the interest is a sign of desperation from the club.

Here is the best of the reaction…
